Under colonial rule, India's population provided the British Empire with a ready source of cheap and mobile labourers. Many Indians agreed to become indentured labourers to escape the widespread poverty and famine in the 19th century. Some travelled alone; others brought their families to settle in the colonies they worked in. The demand for Indian indentured labourers increased dramatically after the abolition of slavery in 1834. They were sent, sometimes in large numbers, to plantation colonies producing high value crops such as sugar in Africa and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus first landed in the Caribbean in 1492. He found three groups of Indians living on the islands. These were the Arawaks and the Ciboney on the northern larger islands of the greater Antilles, the Bahamas and the Leeward Islands. The Caribs inhabited mainly the Winward islands. It is thought that the original population of Amerindian inhabitants of the West Indies was several million.

"Claire's Workbook" has evolved over 25 years' teaching experience with students from 4 to 72 years of age, and started as single-sheet handouts for use during class. The workbook was developed when these worksheets which were developed specifically for students in a class environment were compiled in a logical sequence. These were developed and improved, then bound together to help students organize their work. This workbook is also recommended as a useful preparation for secondary or high school level music courses. Claire's MusicWorkBook(R) now covers all of the typical theory requirements of the major examining boards of music from introductory to intermediate stages. The teaching pages are liberally interspersed with exercise pages to reinforce the concepts introduced. Included is a glossary of Italian and other foreign musical terms. The appendix includes practice pieces, scales and 50 music pieces. More ambitious students can progress with little supervision. This book supercedes Ed.ISBN 0954440633
