This is the fifth in a sequential series of six books leading from the first steps in recorder playing to musical literacy and the threshold of consort playing.

The first books in the series use sol-fa syllables and lead to reading staff notation (same with rhythm syllables). Books 5 and 6 use traditional notation. A table illustrating the transtioin from rhythm syllables to proper note values is found in Book 5.  Two, Three, and four-part songs and dances are found in Book 5. A combination of both English and French songs which draw on the rich heritage of Canadian folk songs are also used.
