Music in Our Homeschool was built by Gena Mayo, a music teacher with degrees in Music Education and Vocal Pedagogy and a homeschool mom of eight, who wanted to make music genuinely achievable for busy families with no musical background. The platform offers 15-minute video lessons covering music appreciation, composers by era, world music, American music, theory, and instrument basics like guitar and ukulele.
The MIOH+ membership comes in a Basic tier and a fuller Plus tier, with the Plus including monthly live music appreciation lessons, monthly painting tutorials, fine arts pages, and access to a much larger course library. Individual courses can also be purchased separately without a membership. Both secular and Christian-friendly courses are available, and some courses are specifically designed to count toward high school fine arts credit.

Things to Consider
The volume of courses can be overwhelming — families benefit from a plan before diving in.
Basic and Plus tiers have meaningfully different content access — worth reading the tier comparison carefully before subscribing.
Live class components require attending at scheduled times, though recordings are available after.
Individual course purchases add up compared to the membership if buying several.
