A resource for class or peripatetic teachers in primary education to assist in music reading education.
The ‘Intermediate’ is a continuation of the ‘Beginner’ level from our shop.
Both the Beginner & Intermediate Methods are intended as a gentle and gradual introduction to music reading.

You will get one PDF booklet:

  • Ukulele tabs & Chord Charts

THE METHOD
The method consists of 12 lessons which are essentially 8-bar music exercises.
Continuing from the 4 notes (C-D-E-F) and other symbols from the ‘Beginner’, this level introduces more note/rest lengths and other musical symbols.
The lessons are named after the topic they cover. All lessons/topics are listed below.
The notations are formatted in landscape orientation for use on electronic devices or printing.

FOR WHOM?
Intended for primary school students. Can be used in a secondary school setting at your discretion.

/*D - some melodies are modified due to the range and fingering accessibility for beginners./

PREVIOUS AND NEXT-LEVEL RESOURCES
The ‘Beginner level precedes the ‘Intermediate’ and is followed by the ‘Nursery Rhymes 1’ level.

PHILOSOPHY (the purpose of the method)
By simplifying notation and adding colours, note names, tabs and diagrams, make reading music notation easy and accessible, allowing the young performers to focus on what matters: rhythm, tempo, fingering, note lengths and clear tone,
The melodies are made as interesting as possible within their limitations, allowing a wide range of young learners to understand and follow their inner logic.
