Score for everyone – kids, adults and seniors is a composition of 40 educational mini-musical notations, written for both chromatic and diatonic bells, enriched with instrumentation for everyday objects that are always to be found on the school bench. The melodies in this ebook come from 10 different regions of Poland and the level of difficulty may vary. The scores in our book contain two different musical notations:
1) Traditional music notation which matches the colors of chromatic and diatonic bells, solfege and names of notes.
2) Creative-original music notation suggested by the author which was prepared especially for kids. It is based on the kid’s ability of associating animals’ rhythmicity with particular note’s values.
It also helps the kids to memorize it faster.
Every region of Poland is represented with a few traditional melodies, and one popular one that is widely recognizable throughout Poland.
The scores are accompanied with the illustrations made by Anna Jeglorz and mini-interviews with the musicians. The proof-reading was made by Maria Górna and James Jacobs. The book was translated into English by Igor Spolski.
The website www.partyturadlakażdego is a supplement of this e-book. You can download the ebook from there, both in English and Polish.
The record of source materials (the interviews) and all the musical notations in the audio format are to be found there.
We hope that the following publication will help you discover new musical realms, and that the children’s games depicted in this book will encourage you to spend more time together creating intergenerational bonds. Get onboard and set off on a journey with traditional folk melodies.
The book is accessible, comprehensible and interesting for all the people whose heart is devoted to music. This educational project was only possible to create, thanks to the Polish Ministry of Education and National Heritage.
