Run with the music. Follow the wind. Fly free. 🎹🪁❤️
Music learning can be more than exercises on a page. It can be movement, imagination, discovery and the freedom to explore music in meaningful ways.
At ScoreS2Duo, we believe music literacy should help learners connect what they see, hear, feel and play — building understanding through real musical experiences.
From the music you know to where you want to go.

🎵 What makes a music-literacy workbook more than a theory book?

For me, music literacy has never been simply about being able to name a note, complete a scale or give the correct answer on a worksheet.

Those skills matter — but they are only part of the picture.

A musically literate learner should gradually learn to hear, feel, recognise, read, understand, interpret, apply, create and communicate music.

That is the thinking behind the ScoreS2Duo Music Literacy Workbooks.

The workbooks are designed for teachers, schools, private studios and learners who want structured progression without losing sight of the music itself. Concepts are introduced carefully, practised purposefully and revisited cumulatively — but wherever possible, they are also connected to meaningful musical contexts.

The aim is not simply to prepare learners to answer theory questions.

It is to help them understand what those concepts mean when they encounter them in music.

That is also why repertoire and real musical experience play such an important role in the way ScoreS2Duo resources are being developed.

Whether you teach in a school, run a private studio or prepare learners for formal examinations, I hope these resources can become a practical extension of the work you are already doing with your learners.

I would love to hear what you value most as a teacher.

What if learning the notes of the piano could begin with a story? 🎹

Lalla’s Music Adventures: Welcome to Piano Town — Book 1 is a story-based introduction to the piano, created especially for very young beginner learners.

Its first educational aim is deliberately simple: to help children recognise and remember the note names and geography of the piano keyboard through narrative, repetition and imaginative exploration.

Rather than moving quickly through a large number of new concepts, Welcome to Piano Town allows young learners time to become familiar with a small amount of musical knowledge in an engaging and memorable way.

The book is designed as a companion to good beginner music teaching, not as a stand-alone piano method. A teacher can move naturally between the story and practical activities at the piano — finding notes, listening, singing, moving, clapping and exploring repertoire.

At its heart is a simple idea:

Young children can begin developing music literacy through experiences that are meaningful, imaginative and appropriate to their stage of learning.

Available on Amazon as Kindle, paperback and hardcover, and included with Kindle Unlimited.

🎹 Lalla’s Music Adventures is now available in Kindle, paperback and hardcover!

We are delighted to share that Book 1: Welcome to Piano Town is now fully available on Amazon.

Created for very young beginner learners (3 - 6 years old), Welcome to Piano Town uses narrative and story-based learning to introduce the note names and geography of the piano keyboard at a gentle, unhurried pace.

The book is not intended to replace a beginner piano method or the many practical activities that form part of a rich music lesson. Rather, it can be used as a companion resource — giving the teacher another way to engage a young learner, revisit musical concepts and move naturally between story, keyboard exploration, listening, movement and practical music-making.

The underlying aim is to support the beginnings of music literacy teaching and learning in a way that is developmentally appropriate, imaginative and enjoyable.

📖 Available on Amazon as:

• Kindle — included with Kindle Unlimited
• Kindle purchase — currently 34% off for readers who are not Kindle Unlimited subscribers

Lalla's Music Adventures: Welcome to Piano Town: A Story-Based Piano-Key Discovery Adventure for the Very Young Pianist

🎹 The story behind Welcome to Piano Town 📚✨

Meet the seven friends who live in Piano Town:

🐱 Cat-C
🐶 Doggy-D
👦 Eddy-E
🚪 Front Door-F
👵 Granny-G
👧 Anna-A
🚪 Back Door-B

They may look like storybook characters, but each of them has a very particular job to do.

Lalla’s Music Adventures: Welcome to Piano Town began with a question:

What if a very young child could discover the piano keyboard as a place to explore before being asked to memorise a collection of note names?

At first glance, a piano keyboard can look like a long row of identical black and white keys. But it contains a wonderfully reliable pattern: groups of two and three black keys repeating all the way along the keyboard.

That pattern became the geography of Piano Town.

The group of two black keys becomes the Little House, where children meet:

Cat-C — C before the two black keys
Doggy-D — D between them
Eddy-E — E after them

The group of three black keys becomes the Big House, where they meet:

Front Door-F — F before the three black keys
Granny-G — G between the first and second
Anna-A — A between the second and third
Back Door-B — B after them

Instead of beginning with “This is C. Remember it,” the child begins to build a little musical world:

find the house → find the friend → find the key.

Lalla, our young explorer with her golden key, leads the child through that world. Along the way, the learner listens, looks, moves, searches, plays and begins recognising the repeating structure of the keyboard.

There is deliberately no staff notation in Book 1.

Before asking a young beginner to translate musical symbols, I wanted them to develop a sense of keyboard geography—to know where they are, what patterns they can see, and how the seven white-key names fit into that repeating landscape.

The story therefore carries the learning.

The characters give the notes something memorable to attach to.

And the piano itself becomes a place the child can explore with curiosity rather than something they need to “get right” immediately.

By the end of the adventure, the seven friends are no longer seven unrelated letter names.

They belong to a pattern.

They belong to Piano Town.

And, hopefully, they begin to belong in the child’s musical imagination too. 💜🎶

Are you already thinking about your 2027 teaching resources?

August may feel early to start thinking about next year — but for schools and teachers, 2027 planning often begins long before January.

And perhaps this is a useful time to ask:

What would make your teaching easier, more coherent and more purposeful next year?

For some teachers, it may mean having one resource that follows the curriculum in a clear sequence rather than working from several books, files and photocopied pages.

For others, it may mean having material that better reflects the particular learners, repertoire, assessment programme or teaching context of the school.

This is the thinking behind the ScoreS2Duo Bespoke Music Education Resources for 2027.

Resources can be developed or adapted for:

🎵 FET Music
🎵 Creative Arts
🎵 Life Skills
🎵 Other Curriculi

And, depending on the needs of the school or studio, this may include curriculum-aligned content, personalised planning, school or studio identity, assessment support, repertoire-related activities and a more coherent progression across the year.

For me, bespoke should mean more than putting a different name or logo on the front cover.

It should begin with a conversation:

Who are the learners?
What are we teaching?
What does the curriculum require?
What does the teacher need?
And what could we organise now that would create more time for actual teaching next year?

If your school or studio is beginning its 2027 planning, this may be a good time to start thinking about what you would like one coherent resource to contain.

I have created a short Bespoke Workbooks – Quick Enquiry form for teachers and schools who would like to explore the possibilities. There is no need to have all the answers yet — it is simply a starting point for the conversation.
