Synopsis

Discover a practical method that teaches music by ear first, not by staff notation.

  • This book presents the Tonic Sol-fa system as a clear, tried-and-tested path for elementary classes and day schools.
  • It emphasizes building musical understanding through simple notation, handsigns, a modulator, and visual teaching aids, rather than overwhelming staff notation.
  • Readers will explore a structured, step-by-step approach that motivates practice with certificates for passing levels.
  • The material blends teaching theory with activities drawn from real classrooms and expert guidance, including historical context from the English movement.
Ideal for teachers and students starting out in group singing or classroom music programs.
