DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
"I should be doing music in my homeschool, but don't have time or energy to add ONE MORE THING to my homeschool."
To achieve your goal of music ed in your homeschool, simply do a minimum of one lesson per week!
As a homeschooling mom myself, I know that...
- it's hard to find time for music
- many moms don't have the expertise to teach music
- some programs and lessons are too expensive for the homeschool budget
- and other music programs are BORING or too hard for kids and/or Mom
Let's face it--there's nothing more frustrating than trying to do it all, only to feel like you're never quite enough and never actually giving your kids the full homeschooling experience you want them to have. And there's nothing more disheartening than buying yet another curriculum--only to have languish on the shelf unused because you have no time to prep for it or even include it in the school day.
You know that you should be giving your kids the most excellent education possible. Maybe you've even tried a music online course or two.
And yet, it's not quite working.
🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵
There's no time to figure out how to use yet one more curriculum. You have enough to simply teach reading, writing, and math every day. Money is tight, so there's no way to add private music lessons to the budget. And, you know nothing about music yourself and can't possibly fathom how you could possibly teach your kids music.
Other people make homeschooling look easy. But for you, it's been anything but. You thought that the hard part was going to picking out the right curriculum, but as it turns out, that was only just the beginning. And now you feel like you must be missing something.
And you're not alone. Most homeschool moms who truly care are.
The truth is that having a high-quality homeschool course is a game changer, one that will teach the kids for you, require no prep time from you, and even do it in only 15 minutes a day!
The problem? Most homeschool music curricula often make achieving a music education for your homeschool more trouble than it's worth.
But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?
HELLO,
I'M GENA MAYO
And I can help you add an enriching music education to your homeschool!
I'm a homeschooling mom of 8 who has been teaching music in various form for almost 30 years! I have a Bachelors degree in Music Education and a Masters degree in Vocal Pedagogy (teaching voice lessons). It has been my joy to teach elementary and junior high choir, high school voice classes, private voice lessons for teens through adults, early childhood music and movement classes for babies through preschoolers, elementary general music, and music appreciation for elementary through high school. I've also been a musical director for stage musicals such as Seussical, Singing in the Rain, and Beauty and the Beast.
It's my joy and desire to help all homeschoolers include music in their homeschools through the website Music in Our Homeschool and all of the courses I've created!
But, the best resource I've ever created that is helping the most to make homeschool moms successful is MIOH+ the membership for homeschool families!
CONSIDER WHAT'S POSSIBLE...
Imagine having a joyful homeschool where music is included every week. You're learning along with the kids, and it's fun and easy!
We'll teach you how to schedule the short lessons into your homeschool week and use them with all the kids!
With the help of this membership, you CAN include music even if you have no musical knowledge yourself.
And, the price?
It costs less per month for your whole family than ONE private music lesson!
I'll give you
- A no-prep, click-and-go lesson on the calendar for each day of the month (also comes in your weekly email for even more ease!)
- A wide variety of FUN lessons for multiple ages
Yes, your kids will learn and grow, mom will feel successful in finally adding music education, kids will make connections between music and other subjects (such as history, geography, science, art, and literature), and older kids can do the lessons independently.
Not sure how to fit it in? No problem.
I created Music in Our Homeschool Plus so homeschool moms can be the rockstar homeschoolers they desire to be and give their kids the absolute best music education possible!
After enrolling in the membership, simply choose your lesson of the week.
Will you do the lesson of the day on the calendar or work through a course?
Schedule it in:
- Morning Basket Time
- Loop Schedule
- Music Mondays
- Fine Arts Fridays.
Do it each week! You're successful!

INTRODUCING MUSIC IN OUR HOMESCHOOL PLUS (MIOH+)
The Music Education Membership that will help you add music to your homeschool in only 15 minutes a day!
MIOH+ is an extremely easy-to-use, click-and-go membership for homeschoolers designed to help you add music education, so that your kids will have the basis for any music they may want to pursue later in life. And, if they don't do anything else with music, it will have given them the well-rounded homeschool education you desire them to have!
Music in Our Homeschool Plus was originally created to help struggling homeschool moms achieve ease with adding music because I've been where you are -- a homeschool mom who's trying to do it all and knows there is never enough time or energy.
If you are a homeschooler desiring to include an excellent music education in your homeschool, or if you are looking for something fun and easy to use, this is an opportunity that I promise you will not want to miss.

From Kristin E.
"I honestly don't think I'd make the time to teach my children music if I didn't have Music in Our Homeschool because you get so busy as a homeschool mom and things just get crowded out. And so now I have it. I intentionally have a plan to use it. I use it on a weekly basis!"

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY OR WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL?
There are no returns, but you may easily cancel at any time. Your membership will remain active through the month (or year) you have paid for, but you won't be subsequently charged.
IS THERE A WAY TO PAUSE THE MEMBERSHIP FOR A WHILE (SUCH AS DURING THE SUMMER)?
The platform I use to host the membership and courses (Teachable) doesn't have a pause feature. The only option is to cancel and then rejoin at a later date. Three things to consider: you can only rejoin when the membership is "open" (get on the waitlist to know when that will be), you'll have to rejoin at the new price if the price increases, and there are lots of resources in the membership that are perfect for summertime learning!
HOW CAN I JOIN THE WAITLIST SO I'LL KNOW WHEN THE MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN AGAIN?
