Some activities can be to build the musical scale, to stand or jump on the different notes, to find the missing note, and so many more! You'll love this mat!

What child doesn't love legos? Using a toy to teach is one of the best assets for a teacher. Play games building the musical scale up and down, placing the blocks in different parts of the room to be gathered in order, hide a block and discover which one is missing. Like these ideas?

Fingermarkers work! I'm a firm believer that there's an important result that happens when the visual and the auditory components of learning are connected. Not only does the child see and feel the correct placement, but hears what it's supposed to sound like.

Use this pinky helper to get your student to place the pinky on top of the bow towards the inner side of the wood. It will help to remind the student to keep the finger curved, and will prevent the fingers from climbing up the bow.

Another way to help the student place the pinky in the correct place is to use these pinky pads. They stick to the bow easily and since they aren't bulky, they work as a gentle reminder of what the pinky feels like on the bow when the pinky pad is not being used.

Multisensory learning is the best way to learn for a child. Using props to make concepts clearer can create a world of difference for a child.

Teaching the musical staff? Build the musical staff using this electrical tape. Students walk or jump on the lines and spaces, and place notes or even themselves in the different locations. Bring music to life by having the students become the notes. This is what multi-sensory learning is!
