CD-1, "Lullabies". This is sold in ads without a word about the accompanying book, which they will get as a surprise. CD-1 is the 'hook'. It is beautiful, restful music. But some will see the opportunity to learn to read music, and later to teach the child. Mail follow-up will help to sell the next four CD/books. I believe that in years to come it will be statistically evident that children who had exposure to this recording from infancy will have a higher average musical aptitude in pitch and rhythm memory, and possibly in verbal memory, creativity, and mathematical ability.

CD-2, "Teaching Your Child", would be played for toddlers and preschoolers. CD-2 begins very simply, with short phrases using two pitches- the minor third or 'children's interval'. Each phrase is repeated several times. CD-2 has been produced by awpromotions.com. Sections two and three of CD-2 gradually add more pitches, making it seem too formidable a volume for parents, I think. This CD might be better presented as a several short CD roms, wooing the parent into it, as well as making it easy to use. As the child gets older, the parent or music teacher can point under the notes for the child in the book, or the interactive program can demonstrate pointing, and then test and grade the pointing skills of the parent and child. The child will quickly outdo the parent, proving the point that the parent is the child's best first music teacher, even if not skilled at all.

CD-3 "Logan and the Animals", is a musical story. It teaches high and low pitch using the minor third. Logan is addressed by various characters singing:

....."Hi Lo, Hi!"......"Hi, hi, hi!"......"Hi, . . . Lo!" ........."Lo, Lo, Lo!"
. . . C...A...C . . . . . C...C...C . . . . C.........A . . . . . . . A....A....A

The parent is to point under the notes in the illustrated storybook. A giant version for preschool music teachers will sell better initially, but these very teachers will begin to sell the smaller version to the parents, and network marketing by teachers and parents will be amply compensated by the company during the initial development stage.

CD-4 "Hans Visits the Woodworkers", is a musical story. It teaches high and low pitch using the minor third. Hans watches various characters at work singing phrases that reflect the rhythm of their tasks. The parent is to point under the notes in the illustrated storybook. If sufficient funds are available, this will be produced as an animated story.

CD-5 "Rhymes", are songs about growing up. The CD comes with a book that the child will read out of later with the recording. Though the songs have words, a kindergarten teacher will later use these songs for teaching rote singing and then note reading with Da-di syllables. The Da-di patterns in the songs are reflected in the white and black notes, making them easy to recognize when the children begin to read music in the later part of their kindergarten year.

Stage Two: The Primary School Teacher

Stage two will be stronger if stage one is fully implemented several years before. The potential for music aptitude development in babies and toddlers has hardly been touched, I believe. By the time Stage One has taken off, studies will be done as to the effectiveness of stylized songs in increasing musical intelligence in pitch and rhythm audiation, and theoretical analysis will be starting to take place in the field of music education, explaining the theory of it to music students. The light will go on in many people's minds, and word of mouth will increase.

first grade: "Stand, Middle, Sit!"
teacher edition with CD and lesson plans, class edition with giant staves.
home-book "Level Songs" with CD

second grade: "Building Blocks"
teacher edition, class edition
home-book "Fun Songs"

third grade: "Singing Well"
teacher edition, class edition
home-book "Great Songs"

Stage Three: The Piano Teacher

Stage Three will add even more synergy to the continued marketing of Stage One and Two. The aggressive self marketing piano teacher is the hub of musical culture advancement. They themselves will vigorously market the materials if they have begun to prove themselves in theoretical studies and anecdotal practice in the marketplace.

Stage Four: Broader Market to Youth and Adults, to Advanced Children and to University Theory Students studying Sight-singing

Sheet music with recordings:
"Turn Off The Television" volume I and II -fun contrapuntal music to be sung in parts by families, high school choirs, church choirs. There are some essays about singing in between some of the pieces.
"Adult Sight-Singing" volumes I, II, III and IV. -various two-syllable songs to increase pitch sensitivity and sight-singing skill among music students and choirs. DVDs:
"Up and Down" for young children- hand signs and animated pitch notation.
"The Rhythm Clowns" DVD (a teacher's aid for "Stand Middle Sit"). One Clown slaps his knees for the notes and claps for rests, while the other points at the notes.
"Logan and the Animals" - an animated cartoon with animated pitch notation.
"Hans Visits the Woodworkers" -an animated cartoon with work-rhythms synchronized with the songs and with animated pitch notation.
"Teaching Your Child" a teacher's aid to help parents and teachers teach note reading to their children.
Eventually an entire line of "Da-di Songs" will be produced as CDroms that use interactive technology to grade progress in pitch and music notation awareness.
