Introduction
Our Homeschool Orchestra and Music Program is a great opportunity for the homeschooled student. The offered group classes and private lessons allow each student to receive a basic knowledge of music and develop a strong musical foundation while learning to play the instrument(s) of their choosing. This program is designed to help our students reach their musical goals and to have fun in the process. Our instructors strive to inspire their students to really love and enjoy playing music. H.O.M.E. gives each student the opportunity to be with other homeschoolers who also share their musical interests.

H.O.M.E. Reviews – What they are saying
“The H.O.M.E. program is well organized and teaches the foundational principles of learning various musical instruments. We are so grateful to have found H.O.M.E under the leadership of Nadine Chadwell. Thanks to Debbie for providing excellent administrative skills and helping the program to smoothly run. Thank you Ms. Nadine for making this experience exciting and encouraging for our daughter. We look forward to her growth as she strives to play the violin. We appreciate your patience and excellent musicianship with the children.” The Stewart Family
“I am simply amazed every time we go to a HOME performance! The kids do such a great job every single recital and I am always thoroughly impressed with the outcome! Sometimes I feel like I should be charged to watch the performance because the level of talent is so very good! Thank you to Ms Chadwell and her team for doing such an outstanding job with our homeschool kiddos!!” R. Flores
“Our oldest daughter started H.O.M.E. last year and fell in love with the violin. The progress she made in a year has been amazing. At the concert in May, the grandparents leaned over and asked, “How much does this cost? We want to pay for it.” My family has an antique violin that was brought from Germany in the early 1900s. It’s in pieces, but now my dad is talking about getting it restored because we have someone who can play it.” M. Easterling
“H.O.M.E. is an excellent musical program. My daughter has learned so much from Nadine and I always leave the concerts blown away by the skill the students are showing in their musical journey. Nadine makes classes fun while also pushing the students to improve. Great place to be a part of!” S. Kellen
“This program is so valuable for my homeschooled students. They are learning musical skills and how to perform in a group. I am so glad this program exists to enrich our educational opportunities!” M. Finlay
“Great, caring and knowledgeable staff! I highly recommend H.O.M.E. for your child(ren)!” D. Bell
