When you need a piece of music to listen to in your homeschool, streaming music can sometimes be your best bet because you can find a song quickly and easily and don’t have to go hunting for a CD.
The current streaming music service providers have millions of songs available. You can listen to everything from Bach to Toby Mac for one monthly fee and you won’t have a bunch of CDs taking up space in your home.
I have a list of music service providers for you below. I tried to choose services that allow you to pick songs rather than just play stations or playlists. That way you can select the pieces you want to enjoy at any given time rather than waiting for them to come up.

Where to Get Streaming Music
Amazon – There are two ways you can get access to streaming music on Amazon: Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. When you sign up for Amazon Prime Membership, you automatically get access to Prime Music as well as other Prime features like video and free shipping. Signing up for Amazon Music Unlimited means you have access to even MORE music. Amazon Music Unlimited is available to Amazon Prime members at a reduced price. Free trials are available for both services.
Apple Music – Get access to 45 million songs when you sign up for Apple Music. Currently, you can try it free for 3 months.
Google Play Music – Google Play Music allows you to listen to songs you choose and store your own music collection. Right now, you can try it for free for 30 days.
Spotify – With the free Spotify service, you get limited on-demand song selection and ads. If you pay for Premium, you get complete access for song selection and no ads. Currently you can get 3 months of Premium for only $0.99.
I hope your family enjoys many hours of streaming music from one or more of these sources.
