A brain-based music method.
Effortless music reading.
Built for the way your memory works
Your working memory is designed to hold only 3–5 things at a time — just enough to work with in the moment. Take a small group of notes and give them the repetition they need to move to short-term, then long-term memory. That’s reading with the way your brain is designed.
Take on too much information too fast, and you overload it — like a music box running out of wind. Everything slows down, and finally freezes.

Two more ideas that set Treblemakers apart from every other method book.
Two-Level Learning
Students work at their reading level and playing level simultaneously, so neither gets left behind.
Flexible Pacing
Index tabs let teachers customize the pace for each student without ever losing the structure.
“I created the books I wished I had when I started teaching.”
I’m Suzan Stroud — a musician first, teacher second. After 30 years in the studio, I built Treblemakers to give teachers the clear, brain-based reading system I always wanted: structured enough to trust, flexible enough for real students.
