Music brings students together, sparks creativity, builds confidence, and creates meaningful opportunities for expression and worship. To support North American Division schools in providing engaging, high-quality music education, we are excited to recommend two versatile curriculums: QuaverChristian and Musicplay.

QuaverChristian: Where Music Meets Faith

QuaverChristian is designed for Christian schools, this online, teacher-led resource combines comprehensive music instruction with Scripture, biblical principles, worship, and opportunities for spiritual growth.

Featuring Scripture songs and Bible verses, QuaverChristian helps students build musical skills while connecting their learning with Christian values. The curriculum is grounded in four biblical principles, intentionally weaving faith and worship throughout music instruction.

Each grade includes 36 lessons covering the essential elements of a comprehensive music curriculum, plus nine additional lessons exploring extended topics. The curriculum is fully customizable, allowing teachers to change lesson order, substitute content, and add their own resources.

For Adventist schools, this flexibility makes it easy to connect music instruction with worship, special programs, school events, and other aspects of the school experience. QuaverChristian doesn’t simply teach music, it provides opportunities for students to experience music as a pathway to creativity, worship, and spiritual growth.

Musicplay: Teach Music Your Way

For schools looking for a resource spanning PreK through Middle School, Musicplay offers an extensive collection of curriculum materials and teaching tools. More than a song database, it includes pre-built lessons, printable resources, interactive games, themed units, instructional videos, instrument programs, and creative activities.

Teachers can choose ready-made lessons or create their own using Musicplay resources and their existing materials. Whether teaching in the classroom, online, in a hybrid environment, or with a substitute teacher, Musicplay provides flexibility.

Lesson planning is also simplified with year plans, scope and sequence, monthly outlines, song notation, activities, and curriculum correlations. Pre-built lessons are available for every week of the school year and can be customized to meet classroom needs.

Student access is included with the teacher license, providing students with educational games, interactives, and instrument programs.

Finding the Right Fit

Both resources offer exciting possibilities. QuaverChristian is especially suited to schools seeking an intentionally faith-integrated K–5 curriculum, while MusicplayOnline provides a broad PreK–Middle School resource with exceptional flexibility and depth.

Both remind us that music education is about more than notes and rhythms. It is about helping students create, perform, listen, move, collaborate, worship, and discover the joy of music.
