About Figurenotes
Figurenotes is specially designed to help people with learning support needs or physical disabilities to play, read and perform music in an exciting and successful way.
This simple system is designed to demystify the first steps in learning to read music. Each musical note has a corresponding coloured symbol. With the help of stickers on the instruments, learners play what they see. There are no 'dots' and 'squiggles' to be learned, just two simple concepts:
MATCHING: Find the matching shape on your instrument and play it.
PLAYING IN PULSE: Try and play the same note with a steady beat
