5The series covers nine grades and comprises a book of folk songs for rote song use in the first three grades; unison and part songs for grades four to six, consisting of either folk songs or songs by classical composers, the fourth grade songs starting in unison and gradually becoming part songs; The Concord Junior Song and Chorus Book for grades seven to nine; and three corresponding teachers' books with accompaniments; a manual, The Concord Teacher's Guide; and junior and senior books for treble voices, The Concord Song Book for Women's Voices.
