We published Notes for Leaving Cert Music in 2008 and it’s still a bestseller in our collection. We’ve kept it updated over the years. The textbook is now available in eBook format and we are also offering pages from it as both eChapters and printed chapters. Choose the chapters that you need from the textbook and use them with their music examples.
We abandoned CDs a few years ago, by public demand, replacing them with our App. We’re on our third (and most versatile) version of the App and use it for audio tracks, eBooks, exam questions and solutions. We’ve added audio and extra questions to some of the workbooks (composing and technology), because we love making the App work hard for you.
Over the years, we’ve added several supporting workbooks to our collection. These provide gradated exercises in Melody and Harmony, in the set works in Courses A and B and in the Core course (Irish Music and Aural Skills).
There are also Revision A and B books, as well as a Technology Book.
Full audio for a book or workbook is available to teachers and students in schools where said books are on school booklists.
Please note: Our books are student books only and are not written as resource books. Orders for books not on a school booklist may need to be canceled and refunded (minus the online charge). This is especially the case with our Exercise Books. Where any of the books are on school booklists, the teacher and school are given full access to audio, pdfs and solutions for class use. There are also extra supports available through the My Account page.
Our LC e-products are available through a 2-year licence that is priced competitively. These are academic years, beginning on 1 August and ending on the 31 July.
The Textbook in this format is no longer available for Course B. It is now 3 books. Anyone still requiring it for Course A, please email us. There are a handful left.
