Free Music Lesson Resources for Homeschoolers

 Since Music can become one of the "forgotten homeschool subjects", often due to expense I've compiled a list of free resources. These sites will help provide the information to teach an instrument as close to free as possible; besides of course the expense of the instrument itself.

 Here at the Fraggle house, Boober took a music class at a local college and LOVED it. He still talks about it today so we bought him a guitar and small drum set to keep his love of music going. I've been looking for a small piano to teach him, but they are expensive and Mokey the destroyer has already attempted to rip the strings from his guitar. Until Mokey is a tad gentler, I might hold off and use one of the piano apps available on our Kindle or contact a local church.
