Become a household that sings with joy and skill.
You don’t need a trained voice or any prior training — only the resolve to keep showing up and offer your best. That faithful consistency is how an ordinary home fills with song: Psalms and hymns, folk songs and rounds, woven into your family life — a beautiful inheritance your children will carry their whole lives.

“O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”
Two inheritances, both worth reclaiming.
For almost all of human history, shared music-making has been a pillar of family life, and the songs of a household unified its members around a shared way of life: singing together while at work or at rest, at the table and around the hearth. Music-making came naturally and was shared spontaneously — without care for comparison or fame.
These were the songs which rooted a people to its place.
Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its participative posture toward music in the home — music-making became something to consume rather than to create. It need not be so. The Singing Family provides a way back: a path toward reclaiming our God-given nature as music-makers, and the simple act of singing together as a language that knits households and communities.
Christians are a distinctly singing, rejoicing people, commanded throughout Scripture to “sing to the Lord a new song.” Fruitful obedience to that command, built upon from one generation to another, brought about something remarkable: the chorales of Bach, the hymns of the Reformation, the ordinary four-part singing of a country parish.
None of it happened by accident.
It was formed — through singing schools and choir schools, and the patient tutoring of a grandparent or a neighbor in the pew. That legacy can be revived. The Singing Family seeks to equip every member of a family, with Scripture written on their hearts, to shine the musical heritage of the church into a broken and disordered world.
One whole-family curriculum, in two tracks — take either, or both.
Homegrown Harmony
Mother Goose canons, folk songs, and music for the turning of the seasons — the songs that root us to our people and place.
Explore the track →Schola Cantorum at Home
Scripture canons, hymns, and the sacred choral music of the Christian year — the song of the Church, at your table.
Explore the track →Both start from the very beginning — no prior training, kindergarten on up. A shared foundation of solfa ties them together.
Why a family curriculum, not a kids’ curriculum.
One child at a time. An expert across town. Always outsourced, always alone — separate from the ordinary life of the home.
The whole family, at home. A shared culture of singing every child is born into and grows into at every age.
Home is the foundation, the shelter, the learning place, and the launching pad. Discipleship, musical or otherwise, begins in the home. The Singing Family exists to give that home-grown discipleship real shape and structure — a trellis, not a substitute, for what every family already senses is theirs to do.
Simple enough to actually keep up with.

Nate Roberts has spent his life immersed in music — trained at Berklee College of Music and the University of Oregon, and for years a teacher of jazz performance and composition at Hope College. For the last 8 years he has been running Michigan Academy of Folk Music, which he founded, and where hundreds of students have passed through his classroom. Teaching instrumental music led him to acknowledge the need for this project: he kept meeting children from wonderful, dedicated families who still struggled with the most basic musical foundations — keeping time, hearing pitch — because no one had built that foundation before the lessons ever started. So he built it the old way, at home, singing canons and rounds with his own five children long before any of them touched an instrument. The Singing Family grew out of that same conviction: a musical life is founded at home, through singing, long before any formal training begins.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Honestly, this was built for you. You don’t need a trained voice or any formal musical training — the willingness to show up, a little at a time, matters far more than skill. Your children need to see you begin something imperfectly, for their sake, more than they need you to be good at it. Nate’s own wife leads their family’s singing with no musical training at all. Start where you are, unsure and out of tune; that’s the beginning, not a disqualification. The most important thing is not your skill, but your willingness to model that this is an important part of your home life. Your children will catch that, and your ceiling will become their floor.
