A student workbook and a resource for classroom music teachers, Total Music is intended to be used as a first year of study for older beginners and students in the middle years (Years 5 to 8). The material is fun, engaging and proven to work!

Total Music has a unique layout with content divided into five key sections:

• Music for the head:
  factual information about music (theory of music)
• Music for the heart:
  music appreciation (listening and reflection)
• Music for the hand:
  musicianship (practical skills)
• Music for the ear:
  ear training (building the ability to imagine and decode musical sounds)
• Creating and Performing:
  tasks that integrate all these areas

These 5 sections emphasise the core principle of music education for the whole person!
