Beat Blocks for Meter & Beat

Beat Blocks provide students with a tactile manipulative to aid in the introduction of musical concepts while including elements of discovery, exploration, and play. Musical elements such as beat, rhythm, melody, harmony, and dynamics become the building blocks of music as children review, practice, decode, and compose. These manipulatives aide learners by making musical concepts visible and tactile so that visual and kinesthetic learners can literally see and touch the elements of music and manipulate them to make musical connections. Kids naturally discover and learn through play and creation, and they self-direct their learning and share their thinking through the creative process. Because your students will be highly engaged with the tools, they will spend the time needed to work towards mastery of each concept!
