Posters and flashcards
Wall posters for A3 or A4 and print-and-cut cards, used in the lessons by name.
Assessment
Term rubrics, checklists and a certificate, plus an editable Word test and exam with the teacher's copy at the back.

PDF files you keep. Print any page as many times as your learners need. Some packs add audio files: play-along or listening MIDI and MP3.

Two licences. Print as much as you need.
Each pack is licensed to you, not sold. These are the terms printed in every pack (Version 1.0, October 2026).
Single teacher licence
One teacher may use the pack with the learners they teach, at any school, studio, church or home where they teach. Print or copy as many pages as those learners need, project pages in class, and keep the files on your own devices with a backup.
School or studio licence
Every teacher at one school or studio site (one physical address) may use the pack with that site's learners. Keep the files on a drive or learning platform that only the site's staff can open. A second site needs its own licence.
Both licences allow you to
- print and photocopy any page for your own learners, as often as you need;
- send a learner or their family the page they need, such as a Home card or a worksheet;
- where a pack has Word tasks, tests or examinations, edit them for your own learners (your edited copies stay under this licence);
- teach from the pack in person or in a live online lesson with your own learners;
- where a pack has audio files (play-along or listening files), play the MIDI and MP3 files to your own learners, and load them on your own devices, in class or at home.
Neither licence allows you to
- share, sell, lend or give away the files, or any part of them, to other teachers, schools or studios;
- share, upload or sell the MIDI or MP3 files on their own, or put them into any song, recording or video that you publish;
- upload the files to a public website, a shared or public drive, a file-sharing service or a resource marketplace;
- put the files or pages into a tool or service that copies them or learns from them;
- present the material as your own, remove the JLS Music name or copyright line, or use it to make a competing product.
Assessments, care and questions
The tests, exams and certificates are JLS Music's own assessment, not an accredited qualification. In the Schools packs, use the department's official documents alongside the tasks, tests, examination papers, memoranda and rubrics. Learner sheets use initials only. Keep any learner records safely and only as long as you need them, in line with POPIA.
Music education, not therapy: the packs teach music and do not diagnose or treat anything. If you are worried about a learner's hearing, movement, speech or development, speak with a health professional.
To move from a single teacher licence to a school or studio licence, or if a file is missing or does not open, email sales@jlsmusic.co.za. Nothing in these terms takes away any right you have under South African law.
JLS Music does not claim that the instrument, theory and band packs match any national or provincial curriculum. The Schools packs follow the weekly order of the DBE Annual Teaching Plans (for Grades R to 3, CAPS Life Skills). They are JLS Music's own material, not department publications, and are not endorsed by the department. Original material by JLS Music (Pty) Ltd. The Sound and Style add-on includes some chord progressions from an open-source library shared under the MIT licence; its notice is in that pack's play-along folder.
Good to know.
What do I actually receive?
A download link to a zip folder for each level or grade in your order: the PDF books (A4, with posters for A3 or A4), the editable Word tests and exam (in the Schools packs, Grades 1 to 9), a "Start here" page and the licence. Packs with audio files include MIDI and MP3 files too. Download them and keep them on your own devices.
Which level should I start with?
Level 1 is for beginners. Each pack's description says the usual starting age. Levels 2 and 3 follow on from the level before, usually a year later.
Can our school use one pack in several classes?
Yes, with the School or studio licence: every teacher at one site may use it with that site's learners. A single teacher licence covers one teacher and the learners they teach.
Are the prices for the whole year?
Yes. A level is a full year of weekly lessons (forty in most packs), and you pay once. A set includes every level of that pack. Launch prices apply to orders placed by 31 January 2027.
Do the Schools packs replace the department's documents?
No. They are JLS Music's own lessons, workbooks and assessments, planned in the weekly order of the Annual Teaching Plans. Keep the department's documents beside them, and check them against your school's and province's current requirements.
Which Schools option should I choose?
A phase bundle covers the grades of one phase (Foundation, Intermediate, Senior or FET). The whole range holds all thirteen grades, Grade R to Grade 12. Each grade is a full year for that grade's teacher.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Email sales@jlsmusic.co.za to move from a single teacher licence to a school or studio licence.
