CHECK IT OUT! :) Nature and Music Study CM Resources

I was recently inspired after reading Charlotte’s Homeschooling Series Vol. 3 to look on-line at the Universal Library for some of the authors she mentions in regards to nature study and music study.  I was very delighted to find a list of books by Eliza Brightwen and A. Buckley, both whom Charlotte referenced in her 3rd volume.

These books are no longer in copyright and have been scanned in by different libraries.  You can download them as PDFs and some can be read on-line or downloaded as text files.

You will need to scroll down the list until you find her titles,  The Fairyland of Science and Life and Her Children.

Finally, I want to share that I was looking for some help in teaching my children Sol-Fa.  Charlotte mentioned a book by a Mr. John Curwin titled, The standard course of lessons and exercises in the tonic sol-fa method of teaching music : (founded on Miss Glover’s “Scheme for rendering Psalmody Congregational,” 1835) : with additional exercises (1892). 

Again, I was able to locate this book on-line at the Universal Library.  Below is the link to that resource…
