Grade 6
The elementary years complete with the drum kit: backbeat, subdivisions and dynamic control — and songs about jealousy, anger, pride and compassion, handled with self-control.
What this level contains
The Grade 6 level book is an integrated book of 9 pages with three parts: (1) a curriculum map — 43 catalogue courses and pathways mapped to this level across the collection's ten strands (Scripture & Ancient Writings · Spiritual Life & Character · Whole-Person Wellness · History & Peoples · Language & Literacy · Arts & Music · Nature & Earth · Society & Service · Skills & Vocation · Philosophy, Wisdom & Reasoning); (2) a music education profile — the level's place in the cumulative instrument pathway, its skills and assessment focus; and (3) a complete song set — three songs with full lyrics, instruments and composer guidance. The songs for this level, as printed in the book:
- Drop the Drums, Hear the Heart
- Courage Has a Quiet Beat
- Grade 6 - Guard the Heart

Listen — the audio aspect of this level
David's design gives every level its own sound: the level book read aloud, and its three songs as recordings a learner can hear while the words are in front of them — in this language, or paired with another on the book pages. Honest status: no narration or song recording for this level is held yet — education audio delivered so far: none. The slots below are where each recording will live the day it arrives; nothing is presented as audio before the real recording exists. These slots are part of the lesson itself — this page carries no advertising, as always.
