Hi.

''I have a teacher who teaches some verbs with/though/via songs.''

This is my sentence and I have really confused. I've checked on the net and seen the preposition 'with' but still I want to know if I can use the others. If yes, is there any difference in meaning?

Thanks.
 
Are all of them correct?
They're all grammatically possible. Via would be very weird. You could say with songs or through song. Note that the latter is a singular, non-count noun, indicating that we're thinking of the idea of "song" (or "singing") rather than a collection of individual songs.

If you are willing to go without a preposition, you might find it useful to use the verb use.

I have a teacher who uses song(s) to teach some verbs.
I have a teacher who teaches some verbs using song(s).

 
I think "through" is used to mean that songs are introduced as a teaching tool for language teaching (of verbs).
"With" implies "something which "goes alongside".
We use via for talking about places.e.g. we go from A to C via B.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to see "He teaches English via the medium of song".
