Beginner Orchestra Curriculum

We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand-new beginner orchestra curriculum for music theory and ear training—now included in Auralia & Musition!

This curriculum features an innovative instrument fingering integration that connects seamlessly with Musition’s note reading topic. Students can now visually link note names and staff positions with fingerings on their own instruments, making it easier than ever to build confident reading and playing skills. Pitches are automatically transposed for each instrument and displayed in the relevant clef. It’s ideal for any orchestra, band or instrumental program.

The course also includes a wide range of automatically assessed worksheets designed to develop all the essential theory and aural skills students need to thrive in ensemble settings.

And if you're using the MusicFirst Classroom, all the worksheets are all pre-linked so you only need to click a single button to adopt the course.

Apply instrument clefs to topics

Additionally, Musition features a clef override function that will apply the common clef for each student instrument in selected topics. This is a great way to further tie your students' growing theory knowledge to their instrument, and fast track your band, choir, orchestra or instrumental program. Supported topics include:

• Note reading & Enharmonic notes
• Scales & Intervals
• Diatonic chords & Scale degrees
• Key signatures & Chords
