Take Note Music was born out of this struggle to maximise teaching time and reduce planning time! The aim was to develop a sequential, developmental curriculum based on the Kodaly approach with well-scaffolded activities and primary music lesson plans that ensure each child would successfully develop their musicianship and musical understanding.

The teacher books underpin all your primary music lesson plans for both long term planning and assessment and daily lesson planning for your singing based program. Our step by step, sequential books are designed to support you in providing engaging activities developing students' musical understanding and meta-cognition skills in the music classroom. We save you time and energy by providing advice and suggestions in our primary music lesson plans to ensure activities are presented in a well-scaffolded manner, thus ensuring successful outcomes for your students.
Through our succinct primary music lesson plans, our aim is to nurture the practice of music literacy; students activate their seeing ear and their hearing eye - their musicianship is developed so that they can analyse what they are hearing and imagine it on the page. The primary music lesson plans in the Teacher Books provide preparation lesson segments to be done in prior lessons before coming to do the written task. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the concept prior to the writing stage. They also provide you with ways to foster in students critical thinking and listening, creativity, collaboration and communication in the classroom through the language of music. |

The Music Writing program enables you to do what you do best…teach! Each student has their own book, and the feedback from our teachers is that students absolutely LOVE their books. They really enjoy the clearly set out written activities and through the primary music lesson plans provided to you the teacher, students always feel confident to complete the written task. For the teacher it means no more standing in front of the photocopier at school, loose worksheets scattered around the place or time spent in class gluing or stuffing sheets into books or display folders. They are truly a joy to use!

The teacher books also provide you with ways to cater for individual needs in your primary music lesson plans. These extension ideas are mostly performance activities designed to further the students’ capacity to perform using the rhythmic or melodic concept on which the page is based. The books provide you with cleverly scaffolded primary music lesson plans to help you lead some of the core classroom music games designed to develop your students’ musicianship. These include: Sol-fa Knockout, the Hand Staff, Correct the Teacher and Splash.
