Introducing Classical Music Through Stories
A set of six fully illustrated books each packaged with a CD of a piece of classical music, for which the story has been specially written, So story, illustration and music blend to provide three dimensional inspiration for young children at home and at school.
"The QCA programme of study for music states that pupils should listen to 'a range of live and recorded music from different cultures' so this definitely fits the bill. We finished up using the story and the music as a starting point for literacy and art work too. The whole project developed such an enormous amount of interest and enthusiasm!"

"Congratulations for producing such a fine set of piano tutor books! The 'Keyclub' piano course is without a doubt the most successful I have used to date and comes closest to my 'ideal' piano course! The books are tremendously popular with my pupils: they appreciate the attractive, colourful illustrations and really enjoy the great variety of songs to sing and play. They are definitely motivated by your excellent idea of dividing the books into 'Keylands' - they enjoy the satisfaction of completing a Keyland and adding the sticker, and are always looking forward to the next Keyland! From my point of view, I appreciate having a Teacher's Guide to accompany the series - I have found this very useful, especially when I was less familiar with the course. I also appreciate the minimal fingering and the emphasis on note-reading by intervals - it really has encouraged both my pupils and myself to get away from an early reliance on finger numbers and hence gain a much more confident beginning to reading musical notation."
