Music is important in the education of your child.  It is one of the real accomplishments of the human race and the Western world has developed it beyond that of any other people.  Music is one of your child’s richest heritages.  To share in this heritage your child should study music, for the casual contact alone will not unlock its deepest treasures.

Your child can benefit from a good music program in many ways.  It can:

• Introduce him or her to one of the most significant cultural achievements of the human mind.
• Be a disciplined emotional outlet for the release of tension.
• Enlarge potential for creating and enjoying beauty.
• Develop the skills and understandings needed for using music in leisure time.
• Provide satisfying experiences with groups of peers.
• Build the aesthetic and spiritual values that are so important in the overall development of both personality and character.
• Enrich your child’s life for years to come.
  

Homeschooling at the Click of a Mouse!

Homeschooling can be both a wonderful and difficult task.  It is wonderful because you have the opportunity to truly guide the instruction of your child.  It becomes difficult when you have to choose materials and a curriculum that will target all the many things that a student needs to learn in order to be successful.  eTutor makes homeschooling wonderful every day of the week!  We make a difficult task, a wonderful task!

Key reasons for home educating:

1. Transfer beliefs and values to children
2. Close family relationships
3. Controlled/positive peer social interactions
4. Quality academics
5. Alternative approaches to teaching and learning
6. Safety

Science, statistics, and studies are wonderful but sometimes they are little more than verifications of obvious truths.  We know, for example, that if you smile at a student he will learn more than if you criticize him.  People do better with praise, encouragement, and expressed confidence than they do with humiliation, impatience, and indifference.

If human beings could be perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather than dull and unresponsive, then they would thrive and grow to their capabilities.
