About the Author

Crystal Hosea has been exploring music and literature her entire life. As a child, Crystal was a self-proclaimed "book nerd," and would lose herself in the adventures of the characters in her favorite novels. She began studying piano at the age of four, and later attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts as a vocal music major, where she fell in love with music as an art form and a language. Crystal graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Choral-Vocal Studies from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, then went on to complete a Teaching Credential in Music from California State University, Long Beach. She enjoyed teaching elementary and secondary music in the classroom, directing choirs in after-school programs, and teaching private voice lessons for several years, but eventually took a hiatus from classroom teaching to focus on homeschooling her children. When she is not teaching music, homeschooling, or writing, Crystal enjoys living the simple life with her husband and children on a working horse ranch in California.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Crystal Hosea is the author of the home music curriculum series, Legends of the Staff of Musique. A seasoned classroom music educator with over 20 years of teaching experience, Crystal originally created the curriculum to provide a resource for home educators desiring to bring music education into their home classrooms.

The curriculum uses the voice as the primary instrument to introduce musical concepts through imaginative stories, and reinforce these ideas through folk songs, projects, games, and even recipes! Inspired by techniques used in Kodály classrooms as well as the Waldorf/Steiner educational approach to literacy, Legends of the Staff of Musique provides an opportunity for adults to explore the beautiful language of music with the children in their lives in a wonderfully holistic way.

While the stories from the curriculum are thoughtfully designed to introduce music literacy, they were also created to stand alone as literary works to be read simply for enjoyment. In 2017, a book series by the same name, Legends of the Staff of Musique, was created with the release of the first book in the series, Pentatonica. Based on the stories from the Primer Level curriculum, Pentatonica is a lovely picture book beautifully illustrated by artist Jessie James. Crystal and Jessie teamed up again to create the first novel in the series, The Kingdom of Solfeggio, and continue to enjoy the art of collaboration in forthcoming books in the series.

Very sweet and soft intro into music.
Ms. Hosea wrote a wonderful story for the introduction to the pentatonic scale. I'm not sure why this book recieved a poor review, it's true to the Waldorf education standards. Again beautiful book both in story and art.
