Math in Motion

Online Course

for Challenge 3 Students, Parent-Teachers, and Directors

Can't figure out this music theory?

Frustrated with all the black circles?

Looking for support through the Reasoning strand?

Cheryl Krichbaum, here. I remember the struggle through fall semester of Challenge 3.

Annette Towler on organ & Roger Towler singing

I knew enough music theory to sing in choir and play saxophone.

And I come from a musical family!

(That's my mom on pipe organ and my dad singing.)

But at some point in the semester, I could no longer answer my son's questions.

"What you talkin' about, Mom?"

(That's my son when I explain music theory.)

Then I found out that my nephew Andrew, who inherited all my parents' musical abilities, taught music theory to a homeschool group local to him, and I exclaimed:

"CC parents need you!"

(That's Andrew & me at the pool when I was visiting my home state.)

So I convinced Andrew to create a Math in Motion coaching course as I had created a short story coaching course, and...

Students and parents love it!

(That's always-smiling Andrew in his studio.)

What Does This Program Do for You?

Encouraging & Fun

From Theory's Order

God is the greatest artist, composer, and all around musician who has ever existed, and He made you! Music theory, for many, can be dense. But when you see the patterns, the beauty of the math that comes out just flows—flowing from creation's song!

Music becomes a mystery to solve! An adventure to take! A refection in a lake!

This is our gift from YWEH—to help us through life's moments! It is life giving!

Practical Insight

To Boundless Creativity

You have to know the practical theory of a car to drive a car. If you don't, then you can't enjoy amazing moments of driving the most enjoyable cars—not unlike music theory.

Understanding the practical theory of music gives you insight into the music, so you are able to create with it!

God does the same! Many times in scripture, God set order to things only to give us freedom to create with the canvas He laid out.
