Your brain already knows hundreds of melodies.

This book helps you use them to find any starting pitch — even without a piano.

But this only works if you choose the right songs.

Not songs you kind of know.

Songs you know in your bones.

The ones you sang as a kid.

The ones you learned from a movie, musical, or choir piece.

Those are the songs your brain can rely on.

Songs you’ve truly learned — especially at a young age — are wired deep into your memory. Your brain remembers not just the melody, but the feeling of it.

That’s what makes them some of the most powerful tools for building relative pitch.

This digital download includes the teacher guide, student introduction page, relative pitch songs brainstorming chart, a list of starter songs for every pitch, and the relative pitch songbook fillable worksheet.

Lesson Overview

Students Will:

• Brainstorm a list of songs they know in your bones

• Choose a phrase that is easy for them to recall

• Over time, sing each phrase and check that they started in the correct key by comparing it to the original song

• When they’re ready, add the song and phrase to their Relative Pitch Songbook, underlining their anchor — the word or syllable they’ll use to find the pitch they’re are aiming for

• Refer to their Relative Pitch Songbook for practice, auditions, and performance
