Over a decade of partnership
Figurenotes has partnered with BBC Ten Pieces since the launch of their incredible music education programme over a decade ago.
Accessibility within the project has grown each year, including resources for flexible ensembles and digital instruments. We are delighted to be part of this brilliant free resource. Explore what is on offer below.
Free resources are available for all BBC Ten Pieces lists. The latest resources are the most comprehensive, so be sure to check out ‘Grasswalk’ and ‘Magic’.
You can access videos, scores, worksheets, activities, and much more through the BBC Ten Pieces website.
Flexible Ensembles
The latest list features arrangements for ‘open ensembles’ with flexible instrumentation.
These include parts for digital instruments, such as Clarion and Thumbjam, both of which have Figurenotes built in.
You’ll find scores in all stages of Figurenotes notation. See Progression for more details on the different stages of Figurenotes notation.
Webinar
To celebrate over a decade of collaboration, we recorded a webinar with the BBC Ten Pieces team.
We explore the most recent list and resources, take a peek at some older ones, and explain how to use them. There is also an overview of both Figurenotes and the BBC Ten Pieces project.

Figurenotes is the best thing I've come across in over 40 years of teaching music
Nothing translates as easily as Figurenotes.
It's just so obvious that it works!
I am loving Figurenotes and so are my pupils. They completely get the rhythms because they are intuitive
A huge hit with the students! They didn’t need any explanation as to how it worked. They could straight away just start following the music and playing on the keyboards!
Figurenotes has been a game-changer for me
Figurenotes is the best way to go. It's very inclusive. I haven't come across anything else that comes near it.
I am so impressed with Figurenotes. Such a simple concept, yet so effective. Thank you!
Figurenotes is not just a good notation system, it is life-changing.
