Cycle 3 Songs (MP3s) & Guide

Description

WHAT YOUR CHILDREN WILL LEARN…

1. MATH – 33 fundamentals of math including skip counting up to 12s, basic geometry formulas, the essential properties, measurement equivalents and more. (Repeated each cycle.)
2. SCIENCE – Cycle 3 includes Life Science & Human Anatomy. 28 songs with helpful definitions & fascinating facts that inspire kids to ask big questions about the world around them & the way God made them. (Each cycle’s album includes different science topics, so by the end of 3 cycles, your child will have covered a wide variety!) 
3. ENGLISH GRAMMAR – English is such a rich, vast language. In Cycle 3, your child will master the fundamentals of English prepositions, conjunctions, adjectives, and adverbs. By the end of 3 years, your child will have learned the basics of all 8 parts of speech and be prepared for a deeper, practical study of English. 
4. BIBLE – We encourage families to memorize longer passages of scripture each school year. This Cycle 3 Album includes songs for Ephesians 4:29-5:2, Colossians 3:1-4, Psalm 42:1-6, Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 13:5-8, Romans 5:1-5. 
5. LATIN* – Being exposed to the basics of Latin first makes studying the language so much easier later. If you plan to take your older child through First Form Latin, Visual Latin, Latin Alive! or another popular Latin curriculum, these songs will more than prepare your child. Trust me, they’ll thank you later! The foundations of Latin are spread out over all 3 Cycles. 
6. HISTORY – Brand new in 2026, we’ve added 28 history songs from key events during the 1800s and 1900s, from around the world. The songs coordinate with Story of the World Vol 3-4 chapters, but you can use them alongside any history curriculum.

*If you don’t intend to study Latin, you can easily skip or delete these songs. If you’re on the fence, we recommend just playing the songs anyway… they’re 30 seconds long, so you don’t have much to lose. Plus, you never know which of your kids will turn out to love Latin and be a linguistics genius. 😉

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE…

1. GIANT SONGS ZIP FILE – this file includes all the songs for the program broken down by week AND by subject. There is one week-by-week playlist that you can literally just hit play on each week. There are also 6 individual subject albums that have all the songs organized by topic. These albums are for focusing on one topic at a time or just reviewing a favorite subject area. 
2. PDF GUIDE – The weekly guide is ready to print & go. It includes the text for all the songs organized in a weekly grid layout. Plus, there are teaching tips, review games, tracking sheets, and more! New Cycle 3 Booklists in the guide that coordinate with every subject. 
3. HISTORY STUDY GUIDE – Weekly history study plans that include Story of the World coordinated chapters, picture books, timeline notebook dates, and Find it on the Map activity! Plus, hands-on activity ideas, links to supplemental videos online & suggested read-alouds for this time period.

When should I start playing the songs at? Young children have an amazing ability to memorize! We recommend playing these songs for children as young as 3-6 years old, but just for fun! Don’t expect mastery or understanding at this age. Children who internalize the text will later develop deep understanding as they begin to apply the principles they memorized at a younger age. Older children can also use the songs to help memorize & cement concepts they may be working on in their studies. You can learn more about why & how memory work increases critical thinking here. 

Is this a complete curriculum? Almost!! To use Musical Memory as your complete spine, I’d recommend adding the Morning Time Lesson Plans. Musical Memory is intended as a supplement to any curriculum of your choice. It’s used by almost 1,000 families and some larger homeschooling co-ops and hybrid schools. You can coordinate your readings along with the songs or just choose books off the lists to read them as you’re able & follow your child’s rabbit trails of interests throughout the year. Then sit back and watch as your kids start to ask questions inspired by the songs & make deep connections between the songs and what they read in books. 

Can I buy individual subjects? Yep! The best bang-for-your-buck comes in purchasing the whole program. But, if you only want to grab one science topic or the math album, you can find those individually in our shop. 

How many years are in the program? There are 3 years total that cover a vast amount of elementary education fundamentals across all 5 subject areas. We recommend listening to the songs at least twice through from ages 4-11. Sample plan: 

• Kinder- Cycle 1
• 1st – Cycle 2
• 2nd – Cycle 3 
• 3rd – Repeat Cycle 1 (you will be amazed how much your child remembers even 3 years later… The second listen is when the concepts really start to stick & the child is old enough to ask interesting questions inspired by the songs!) 
• 4th – Repeat Cycle 2
• 5th – Repeat Cycle 3
