Coda's Ornament: A Coda Piano Storybook - Single User License

Coda’s Ornament, single user license, is a Christmas piano storybook designed for young beginners. This holiday resource weaves together four familiar Christmas songs with a playful story about a dog named Coda, simple student activities, and piano music that is taught primarily by rote.

Each chapter includes a short story page, a hands-on activity, and a piano piece intended for the student to learn by listening, singing, and copying sound. The music supports teacher-led rote instruction and helps students experience success at the piano before focusing on reading.

QR codes are included throughout the book and link to short teaching videos, making it easy for teachers, parents, or students to follow along. This also allows the book to be sent home over winter break as a fun, low-pressure musical experience, even if no direct teaching is happening that week.

The music is intentionally accessible for early learners and works well for pre-readers, beginners, and students who benefit from learning by ear before focusing on notation. Familiar holiday melodies, simple patterns, and creative exploration help keep piano playing joyful and achievable.

Coda’s Ornament is a flexible seasonal supplement for piano teachers who value sound before symbol learning and want a resource that feels playful, calm, and different from a traditional method book.
