This innovative kit extends the learning into melody patterns and likewise provides motivation, stimulation, and practice for your students in a whole-class or cooperative-learning situation. The melodic patterns are divided into three levels of difficulty (S-M and S-M-L, the pentatonic scale and the diatonic scale) and each of the 48 cards (8 1/2 x 11) features a common 2, 3 or 4 note pattern. Both sides of each card are laminated for durability and for use with wipe-away dry erase markers. Side 2 of each card features a blank staff, so that you can create your own melodic patterns for students to read, or for the students to use in learning to write notes and intervals, melodic dictation, and even their own songs. This classroom-tested kit includes an easy-to-use instruction booklet.
