`Listen Carefully’ is one of five booklets which develop activities in a progressive way. They suggest ideas for collaboration between teachers and other school staff and Visiting Musicians. The focus of these materials is developing awareness of pitch, the ability to develop pitch awareness and composition on tuned percussion and vocally. The materials support children in reading simple pitch notations with ideas which relate to and lead into staff notation. This series of books is written primarily with the `generalist’ music teacher in mind, although specialists/coordinators may appreciate ideas they can add to their music-teaching repertoire. The materials also work well in a Professional Development context.
