Program Philosophy

Prodigies focuses on pitch during your child's critical period for auditory development. This makes it fun & easy for your kids while having a long-lasting effect on your child's sense of pitch

Early Exposure to Pitch

Your kids will develop a strong tonal center while singing and hand-signing with Solfege, colors, note names & more

Error Proof Learning

Our program is designed to be as easy as possible so that even without a trained music teacher, your kids will be guided toward musical success

Brain Based Vocabulary

We demystify music by applying motions, numbers, colors, hand-signs and group names to the musical notes

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS
ARE SAYING

“

Emily Jane Cargile

Mom

This is the greatest resource I have found in my 28 years as a music educator! The K-3rd graders love everything about “Mr. Rob videos!” I also use it at home with my teenage daughter with special needs and my two young grandsons (5 & 6 years old)!

Mike Green

Music Educator

& Thousands of Classrooms, Families & Studios Worldwide

Need an Instrument?

While you can tap, clap, sing & hand-sign along with Prodigies, it does help to have an instrument to focus on.

Free Bell App

Use your iOS or Android device to follow along on "Prodigies Bells," our free and easy-to-use bell instrument app.

C Major Bells

Use the C Major Bells with over 350 Prodigies videos. Click here to search Amazon for CNDBD

Hand-Sign Along

We make extensive use of the Solfege Hand Signs to make the musical notes more memorable, kinesthetic & memorable

Piano Friendly

Already have a piano? With a little color coding, your piano will be Prodigies friendly within minutes.

Xylophones, glockenspiels & mallet instruments are a bit harder than the deskbells which is fun for older toddlers & school age students.

Mallet Instruments

For folks ages 7+, we've begun introducing Ukulele lessons, songs & curriculum for 2020. 

NEW: Ukulele Course

Recorder Courses

Learn the recorder with a colorful & fun approach!

The way this is set up is simply brilliant! My children picked up on it very quickly and are now leaps and bounds ahead of where I was at their age (and I actually grew up in the house of two music people!)

They know the solfege and the notes well. The videos are delightful and effective. The workbooks are fun and help reinforce everything. We haven’t even gotten that far into the program. I am so excited about doing recorder, ukulele, and more!

"Wow! This program is amazing and my kids who are 6, 4 and 2 absolutely love it! They are learning so much and always want it on. As a musician myself this is such a great all rounded package with the videos downloadable sheets and lesson plans for parents covering so much about music and theory in a really fun way. Can’t believe my two year old actually sings solfege – I remember doing it at music college! So much fun and really pleased with the lifetime membership as I know the cost of music lessons myself and this can grow with them and they can access it whenever we want. Thank you preschool prodigies! And as my kids now say to everyone cya later cya later cya cya later!!!

"I love using Prodigies in my classroom! The students are engaged and I am able to walk around to hear singing and playing on pitch. I converted my old glockenspiels to match the colored patterns in the videos."

"This program has revitalized my 30 year teaching career! Bravo! My students are engaged and learning at a rapid rate. I use this program with my xylophones & Boomwhackers with much success!

Video lessons allow me to float around the room to correct students hand positions and provide one on one instruction where needed. I am able to provide better feed back & it is saving my voice. I ❤️ this program!"

Donna Tugby

Elementary Music Teacher

"I am so happy that I went through my education foundation in our town to get Prodigies for my special education classroom. My students started with the program in January and even though we move at our own pace through it the progress is amazing!

They have always enjoyed music and it is even therapeutic for some but unfortunately the mainstream class is just too challenging.

This program has brought their love of music into my classroom at an appropriate pace, it’s super engaging and they are learning so many skills. All my students have either increased their ability to follow a rhythm or have now learned to keep a rhythm, follow directions, wait to play which is huge and also control their hands.

My students look forward to the music period in our schedule and sing the cya later song ALL the time. They were beyond excited to watch and play the hello song for #worktogetherwednesday.

It has been life changing to find something so perfect for my students who tend to be left out. I am so grateful to have this program and see the joy it brings to my students!

Thank you for creating such amazing resources for a wide range of kiddos."

"My youngest son developed perfect pitch before he was age 4 by using Mr. Rob's lessons! He is 5 now , and loves to point what notes his Dad is playing on the guitar.

When he can't think of the name of a note he wants to hear, he says stuff like "Mom, I want the song that starts with a G Note! Prodigies music lessons are amazing!"

Prodigies Student Boo Shows Off Perfect Pitch

Prodigy Michal Ace His Dad's Pitch Quiz

This is the most incredible thing! Jaime is 5, mostly non verbal.... she has never put more than 2 syllables of anything together unprompted.

I cried when she sang me Solfege and played her bells on the way to bed one night. She has been watching your video for about a month. Thank you for the magical thing that your program has done for her!

Music teachers love our focus on Solfege, Orff inspired instruments & Kodaly concepts. Experienced teachers will immediately understand the concepts, patterns & approaches we take allowing you to dive into group lesson plans, worksheets, performance prep & more.

Early Childhood Educators tend to be a sing-songy bunch, which makes them perfect Prodigies teachers. Plus, preschool children are in their critical period for auditory development which means you can have an exponpentially larger impact on a child's long-term musical ear.

"I think you’ll be pleased to know that every class my students ask me, “Do we get to watch crazy Mr. Roberto today?” They all love “crazy Mr. Roberto”, and they are all learning a lot of music and having a lot of fun doing it!

Thanks very much for making such great material available. And thank you for opening up some new teaching avenues for me. I’m 50 years old, I have a degree in music, and I’ve been teaching piano since I was 15, but this curriculum has made me a better teacher. Thank you."

What's Does "Lifetime  Access" Mean? 

The Lifetime Membership unlocks Lifetime Access to ProdigiesMusic.com & the Prodigies Music Lesson Apps! It also unlocks the DOWNLOAD HALL where you can download all videos and PDFS. 

NEW THIS MONTH: Our Lifetime Membership now includes LIFETIME ACCESS TO OUR TABLET AND TV APPS. 

This means you can login at ProdigiesMusic.com/login to stream and download as many videos as you want or watch from your TV or tablet!

Plus, you also get offline, downloadable curriculum access to all of our videos (500+), books (15+), PDF resources, lesson plans and more. That way, you can use the material for as long as you need.

You get access to all past, present & future series from Prodigies! As your kids grow, so will your library of music lessons, giving your kids more challenging material in the months and years to come. We've recently added easy listening materials for infants AND more difficult series for school-age and middle school kids.

Is there a Payment Plan for Prodigies Lifetime?

Yes, we have several payment plans available!

If you opt for a payment plan, note that the language at checkout will be in reference to your payment plan but NOT your membership.

For instance, if it says "for 3 months" or "for 1 month," this is a reference to your payment plan, NOT your membership. After all, it wouldn't be much of a Lifetime Plan if it only last 3 months!

Can I Upgrade from my Monthly/Yearly Plan?

Yes, of course! To do this, please email [email protected] and ask for a Lifetime Membership upgrade.

We'll take a look at your payments and get back to you with pro-rated price that applies your last 6 months of membership payments to your Lifetime upgrade!

These days, Prodigies has material for infants, toddlers, preschoolers & school-age kids, which means you can really get started at any time!

We've even heard from Middle School and High School Band teachers who use Prodigies to review theory concepts, and we're constantly adding more difficult material as the program grows.

Now, if you want to unlock your child's life-long sense for pitch and music, it's best to get 2 years of pitch training before age 7 (with the ideal range being between 2 and 6 years old. During early childhood, it's easier to have a lasting impact on auditory development, and so we encourage you to make the most of the early years by using Prodigies!

At What Age Should I Start Prodigies?

This one comes up A LOT and the answer is YES!!!

Inside Performance, Melodies, Primary, Holiday & Recorder Prodigies, there is more advanced material for older children (circa age 6-12).

It's true that only Primary Chapters 1 and 2 are currently available, but each of those Chapters are long and incredible detailed (especially Chapter 2).

Plus, we just published the Chapter 2 Course Progression and workbook which includes 10 sections with 4-5 videos, worksheets & sheet music within each section.

Even the videos and activities in our earlier series can be useful & fun for older kids, but the general feel of those programs are understandably designed for younger age groups.

Is there More Difficult Material for Older Kids?
