Have you ever wondered what copywork really is and why it’s been a cornerstone of classical and Charlotte Mason-style homeschooling for over a century? In this inspiring episode of the Music in Our Homeschool podcast, veteran homeschool mom and music educator Gena Mayo shares how copywork can become one of the most beautiful and meaningful parts of your homeschool day—especially when connected to music and the fine arts.

Discover how copywork strengthens not only handwriting, spelling, and grammar, but also attention, character, and appreciation for truth and beauty. You’ll learn how historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, C.S. Lewis, and even Isaac Newton used copywork to sharpen their minds—and how you can bring that same timeless wisdom into your homeschool routine.

Gena also reveals creative and easy ways to weave copywork into your music and art studies, including:
🎵 Copying stanzas from hymns and folk songs
🎨 Writing down artist or composer quotes in your fine arts notebook
📜 Creating seasonal or themed copywork for holidays and special lessons
🖋️ Turning copywork into family journaling or morning time routines

If you’ve ever felt like copywork was old-fashioned or too simple, this episode will give you a whole new perspective. When paired with music and fine arts, copywork becomes more than handwriting—it becomes a doorway to wisdom, wonder, and worship.

Listen now and discover how to make copywork a joyful and purposeful part of your homeschool!
