What age group is the Daily Art: Renaissance useful for?

Kids ages 5 and older will get the most out of Sound Bites: Sing a Song of America, but we do have families with preschoolers or older kids who love the program. Each age can get its own level of good out of the program, and I think families with a mix of ages will find that you can adapt it pretty well for your children. The bonus copywork is best for elementary ages.

Most of the videos are around 2-4 minutes, with some occasionally being around 8 minutes or longer. 


Warning about the Videos:

This course was created by Erica Johns. Gena Mayo's warning: I have not viewed all the videos included in this course. Since every family is different, I recommend you preview for content, costumes, graphics on screen, etc. to make sure they are appropriate for your family's viewing. If you choose not to watch, you can still use the videos to listen to the music!
