The Code Crackers series is designed to offer students of any age regular, continuous practice in reading music. Whereas the rhythm series can be used by students learning any musical instrument, the pitch series is designed for students who are learning the harp, and is principally aimed at those learning on a lever harp tuned in Eb major.

The pitch series is designed to give students a great deal of practice in simple note recognition. It is aimed at students who find reading music tricky (or even overwhelming), although the books would also be helpful for any beginner wishing to proceed in a slow and methodical way. Books 1 - 4 give students a chance to practise one thing and one thing only: the act of relating a particular pitch notated on a stave to the corresponding string on their harp, without simultaneously having to deal with other aspects of reading music (such as rhythm, dynamics, fingering, placing, phrasing, lever changes and so on).

From book 5, fingerings, placings, chords and shapes are gradually introduced.

Suggested ways to use this series

1. Pick an exercise. You, as the teacher, play the exercise. Have the student try to follow along by moving their finger along the music, noting where the pitches rise and fall.

2. You as the teacher choose a page. Play an exercise from that page and have your student try to identify which exercise you are playing. How quickly can they work it out?

3. Ask your student to identify the note names of the lowest and highest pitches on a particular line. Have them show you which strings on their harp they would use to play these pitches.

4. Ask the student to tell you the letter names of all the notes in an exercise. 5. Ask the student to play an exercise very slowly and steadily, naming the notes as they go.
