  • Great for parents too

    Our kid goes to a classical/Charlotte Mason school, and though we aren’t educators we are (of course) highly invested in his education. This podcast has really helped me understand better why our school does what it does in the way that it does it- and is really helping me reinforce the pedagogy that happens at school in the home. Highly recommended!

  • Not what I was expecting

    Many interjections about Christianity and bringing children to Christ and discipleship. The podcasters also have a hard-on for Charlotte Mason as she is held up in almost the same regard as their religion.

  • Fantastic podcast spanning the shared space of Classical, Charlotte Mason education!

    I have listened to ten of the EdRen podcasts (and 2 webinars!) this week. I am really encouraged and grateful for the scope and focus of the material. I told a friend this week that reading and listening to these materials feels like it's providing a "missing link" for me. Though this podcast is geared toward classical educators in more of a school setting, there is a great deal of content and insight I can apply to life as a homeschool mother.

An Interview with Preston Atwood
Q: What are some practical ways that you have found of bringing music into the different parts of the curriculum?
Teachers should distinguish between means and ends about why they are teaching music. Musical experiences need to be unified and integrated, allowing students to not only appreciate music but also create it in an integrated fashion.
