Homeschool Book 1 is recommended for Kindergarten through first or second grade (not appropriate for classroom use).

Book 1 "Meet the Note Family and Friend" CD introduces all of the note and rest symbols, the dot and the treble clef staff.  It also introduces basic time signatures such as 4/4, 3/4 and 2/4, along with the musical alphabet.  The students learn what a measure is, a staff, a bar line and the basic elements that together teach the reading of music.

The Land of Music® system teaches through association such symbols as Willie Whole Note, the father of the Note Family; Helen Half Note, the mother of the Note Family; Quincy Quarter Note, the teenage quarter note, etc.  These personified characters demonstrate through stories, songs, activity pages, games, movement and coloring pages the identification and value of each note and rest symbol, and much more.
