THE CURRICULUM
Clavicord is a 10-book progressive curriculum, with each grade building on what students learnt the year before.
Children explore sound, find the beat, sing together and meet the instruments of the orchestra, building the listening habits every later grade relies on.
Students begin reading music properly: notes and rests on the staff, so that what they hear and what they see on the page start to connect.
The programme moves from reading to making and thinking: students compose, write songs, work with music technology and analyse music, finishing with independent musical projects.
Request a school presentation to see the grade-by-grade plan for Grades 5 to 10.
IN EVERY GRADE
The same five-part approach runs through every book, so students know how to learn music as well as what to learn.
Students listen, sing, move and play before they name anything.
Each experience is connected to the concept behind it.
Students learn the vocabulary to talk and write about music.
Concepts are practised in real musical activities and worksheets.
Every stage ends in students making music of their own.
