Welcome to Hearth & Story’s Poetry in Tune
 
Poetry in Tune pairs seventeen carefully chosen, kid-friendly poems with thoughtfully selected songs from a variety of musical genres. Students explore how words and music can work together to create meaning. This course encourages children and the adults learning alongside them to slow down, listen closely, and notice how sound, mood, and imagery shape what we feel and understand.

Each lesson features one poem (all poems are included in the course) and one song (conveniently linked by QR code), along with gentle discussion questions that put the two in conversation with each other. Learners will share observations, make connections, and reflect on how music and poetry can express similar ideas in different ways. A short section of discussion thoughts at the back of the course is included to support parent educators, but this is not a “right or wrong answers” course. Curiosity and thoughtful noticing matter most.
 
Whether your student already loves music and poetry or is just beginning to explore them, Poetry in Tune offers a warm, friendly introduction to listening deeply and finding meaning where words and music meet.
 
Poetry in Tune was designed to be part of Hearth & Story Complete 3rd Grade, but this course could be appropriate for a wide variety of grade levels and music lovers! Click here for a Hearth & Story Complete 3rd Grade status update. Happy homeschooling!
