Partitures de l’arc de Sant Martí

Student edition: paperback, without the two pages of coloured stickers included in the teacher’s edition. The sheet music, songs and free audio tracks are the same.

This book of sheet music with coloured notes is designed to make it easier to start reading music through a visual system based on note colours, supported by free audio tracks. It lets children start making music with no prior knowledge of music theory, making it a particularly accessible and inclusive tool.

This book is recommended for children aged 3 and over and is used both at home and in educational settings. Sheet music with coloured notes is widely used in music therapy and also as a resource to support early learning of the Catalan language, thanks to its repertoire of traditional and popular songs.

The book contains 20 traditional Catalan children’s songs, presented in two formats: the standard score and an adapted score with coloured dots, following the rainbow colour code. This visual correspondence makes music reading easier to understand and creates a clear link between colour, sound and the position of the note.

The sheet music with coloured notes comes with free audio tracks: sung versions of the songs and the corresponding backing tracks, so children can play and sing at the same time. In the updated version, the book also includes simple ukulele chords built into the colour-coded score, broadening the possibilities for musical accompaniment.

This material was originally created to make reading music easier for children with special educational needs, promoting musical inclusion and allowing children with different abilities to play together. It is a resource designed to encourage accessible, participatory and shared music education.
