About Dr. Eva's New Music Education School Series

The first volume of the New Music Education School series is Clefi's Little Notebook, which is designed for young musicians and everyone young at heart who wishes to learn music colorfully and organically. It introduces us to Clefi, a charming little boy who shares his journey with us. Clefi becomes our guide on this musical adventure. In Clefi's Little Notebook, children explore musical notation, learn how a song is created, discover what a musical note is, understand the musical staff, and get to know the clef (which inspired Clefi's name). They also learn the musical alphabet and scales. The book encourages them to read and write notes in the fourth and middle octaves, practicing their new skills through exercises, puzzles, engaging tasks, and songs to play and sing.

To enhance the musical journey for our young musicians, we provide an engaging and informative book titled Clefi's Musical Instruments. This resource allows young musicians to explore the history of contemporary musical instruments and their fundamental families. Additionally, Dr. Eva has prepared three volumes of Clefi's Music Workbooks. These workbooks are designed to help aspiring musicians practice newly acquired skills and knowledge while discovering intriguing facts about the musical symbols and notation through fun, interactive exercises, rhymes, and songs. Furthermore, these books are a natural bridge between Clefi's Little Notebook and the more advanced Clefi's Music Notebooks.

Clefi's Music Notebooks 1, 2, 3, and 4 are designed to follow Clefi's Little Notebook. These four beautifully designed, full-color music textbooks are notable for their unique conceptual design. Each volume can be used independently as a complete unit. However, the author also designed them to work together as a cohesive method, allowing children to thoroughly understand the fundamentals of music theory in a friendly and engaging manner.
