Nursery rhymes 3
The rhymes children have sung for two or three hundred years: short, repetitive tunes with words everyone knows, which is exactly what a beginner needs. Most sit in the first levels, in C position, and fit on half a page.
Children's songs 1
Songs written for or taken over by children: school songs, play songs, counting songs and the ones sung on car journeys. A little longer than the nursery rhymes, often with a chorus, rests and pickup notes.
Folk songs 8
Traditional songs from Britain, Ireland, America, Europe and beyond, the tunes that were sung at home long before anyone wrote them down. They bring wider melodies, more left-hand chords and sometimes a minor key.
Spirituals 3
African-American spirituals of the nineteenth century, the songs behind gospel and jazz. Strong, singable melodies with a swing, usually built on just three chords.
Hymns 1
Hymn tunes that have outlived the churches they were written for, because the melodies are so good. They move in steady crotchets and minims, which makes them fine reading practice.
Christmas carols 3
The carols and Christmas songs every child is asked to play in December, from Jingle Bells to Silent Night. All are written in C major (or A minor) around middle C; some need the hand to move or have a sharp or two, so they run all the way up to Level 6.
Classical themes 9
The famous themes from the great composers, Beethoven, Bach, Haydn, Grieg, Strauss, arranged as beginner pieces: the composer's melody in the right hand, moved into C major (or A minor) around middle C, with a left-hand part a beginner can manage.
Australian songs 1
Songs from Australia's own tradition, Waltzing Matilda, Click Go the Shears, Botany Bay, all public domain here, arranged for beginners.
