MELODY MUSIC
Be sure to also request the audio downloads to help you in your learning journey.
Before you begin, cut out the Notes Palette page and place it on the wall above the keyboard or piano. You will then be able to look at it regularly when you forget which notes are which.
In some books there will be finger exercises at the end of some of the sections. Be sure to do the exercises daily to speed up your learning.

MELODY MUSIC BOOK 1
Melody music book 1 is Ideal for complete beginners and younger learners. Each piece uses only five adjacent keys, keeping both hands in fixed, comfortable shapes. Notation is extra-large, every note carries its finger number, and letter names appear inside the noteheads. Rhythms remain uncomplicated, and the left hand rests while the right hand plays short, well-known tunes. No coordination between hands is required yet. The goal is immediate success: students produce recognizable music in their first lesson, fostering security and excitement about playing.
MELODY MUSIC BOOK 2
Melody music book 2 is Designed for students who already read treble and bass clefs fluently and can coordinate both hands. Pieces become longer and more lyrical, encouraging smooth, connected playing. Students meet musical markings for volume changes, articulation (legato and staccato), and phrase shaping, along with gentle supporting patterns in the left hand. Small position changes, dotted-note patterns, and keys with up to three sharps or flats are gradually introduced. The main objective is to shape each melody so it sounds vocal and expressive, marking the transition from simply playing notes correctly to creating real music.
MELODY MUSIC BOOK 3
Melody music book 3 is Intended for advanced students prepared for nuanced, concert-level interpretation. The repertoire draws from classical masters and contemporary composers, offering melodies that are elegant, sustained, and emotionally deep. Pieces include elaborate phrase structures, full harmonic textures, broader reaches across the keyboard, and refined pedal techniques. Players must produce a true cantabile sound, control subtle tone colors, and project the melodic line with clarity and intensity above accompanying voices. At this stage, technical command exists only to reveal the music’s inner character and emotional truth.
BEGINNER SECTION
Perfect for absolute beginners and young students. Simple, familiar melodies using only 5-finger positions. Large notes, finger numbers on every note, and note names inside the heads. Easy rhythms and no left-hand accompaniment yet. Play slowly, have fun, and enjoy making real music right away! Designed to build confidence and love for melody from day one.
INTERMEDIATE SECTION
For students who can read both clefs and play hands together comfortably. Melodies become longer, more flowing, and expressive. Includes dynamics, phrasing, legato/staccato, and light accompaniment. Some hand position shifts, dotted rhythms, and keys up to 3 sharps/flats. Focus on making the melody sing beautifully. A step toward real musical expression!
