Chelsea Quavers Music Puzzles for Children

The Chelsea Quavers Music Puzzles Series was born out of a passion and commitment to teach children the global language of music at the earliest age. These puzzles were not only created for children who study an instrument (or may wish to study an instrument) but for every child, as an integral part of their education and early learning. The series demystifies the reading, writing and performance of music and enables children to confidently embrace the subject with a fun, creative and easy-to-follow method. Readers develop listening and comprehension skills and engage in simple musical maths, whilst self-expression through musical composition is actively encouraged. The series forms an integral part of the syllabus at Chelsea Quavers Music School (www.chelseaquavers.com) and at our London based after school clubs. Loved by pupils, headteachers, music teachers and parents alike, the syllabus is used at primary and pre-prep schools and is also ideal for use at home. There is no requirement for parents to have any previous musical knowledge, as our illustrated characters - Chutney and Chelsea - guide the child through each section. Answers to each set of puzzles can be found on our website: www.chelseaquavers.com/answers. With music education declining in schools, these activity books provide children with a vital foundation for learning the basic principles of music. Studies have shown that the benefits of studying music are numerous, including improved numeracy skills, concentration and self-confidence.
