  • Teaching 50 States with Books and Music

Include State Songs in your U.S. State Study

  • State Songs of the 50 U.S. States online course

This is the perfect course to do with any state study! Listen to the state’s official –and unofficial –songs as you learn about each state. Videos of the songs, as well as links to lyrics and sheet music are included.

This course is all you need if you don’t want an additional state study curriculum since the state symbols and other pertinent information are included for each state.

One of my favorite parts of the course is the inclusion of additional songs that are representative of each state, but aren’t “official.” Many of these were recommended by those who live in and love their state. Thanks for sharing these with all of us! (If I missed your favorite, but sure to let me know.)

The “State Songs of the 50 U.S. States” Course is perfect for making geography study of the states of the United States comprehensive and exciting!
