Here is a fun and easy way to teach the music notes to beginners! The Easy Notes theory books can be used right from the very first lesson. The books teach four octaves of music notes through characters and stories that link to each note’s position on the piano keyboard and on the music stave. This enables the beginner to instantly recognize the notes on the stave, and link them to the notes on the piano. The stories are fun to teach, and children, teenagers, and even adults love them! They spark the imagination, turning ‘boring’ notes into lovable and memorable characters.

The Match-up magnets enable students to learn and practice crucial aspects of music theory through hands-on interaction. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Note and Rest Value magnets are for students to practice the fundamentals of rhythm.

• Students can practice matching 12 notes and rests with their correct name and number of beats.
• The magnets match up with a zigzag pattern, which keeps the notes/rests on the left, the note names in the middle, and the number of beats on the right.
• The set includes both US and UK note/rest names.

The Rhythm magnets help learners to gain an understanding and feel for rhythm.

• Students can mix and match the magnets to build bars of duple, triple and quadruple rhythms, to see how rhythm works in simple time.
• Students can clap the bars to a teacher, to hear and feel the rhythms they have built.
  

The Match-up magnets are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the magnetic Staff Board.

The match-up magnets enable students to learn and practice crucial aspects of music theory through hands-on interaction. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Key Signature magnets help the learner to understand key signatures and the relationship between major and minor keys.

• Students can practice matching 15 key signatures with their major and minor key names.
• Beginner students can start by practicing the C major (no sharps or flats), G major (1 sharp) and F major (1 flat) key signatures, then add key signatures with more sharps and flats as they learn them.

The Intervals magnets help the learner to recognize melodic and harmonic intervals.

• Students can practice matching 8 harmonic and melodic intervals with their interval number.
• Beginner students can start with seconds and thirds (steps and skips), and add more intervals as they learn them.

The match-up magnets are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the Magnetic Staff.

The Notes and Rests notation magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation, helping students to understand how music is written and why it is written that way. Through hands-on activity students can engage with important aspects of music notation such as time signatures, key signatures, pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Notes and Rests magnet sheet includes:

• Notes:
• 4 whole notes (semibreves)

• 6 stems for chords. The stems can also be used as bar-lines.
• 2 long stems for building larger chords
• Rests:
• 6 whole rests/half rests (semibreve/minim rests)

The Eighth Notes & Rests notation magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation. The Eighth Notes & Rests are especially useful for clapping rhythms with a divided beat.

• 5 single eighth notes (quavers)
• 3x double beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 2x triple beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 1x quadruple beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 6x eighth rests (quaver rests)

The Sharps & Flats magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation, helping students to understand how music is written and why it is written that way. Through hands-on activity students can engage with important aspects of music notation such as time signatures, key signatures, pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

• 7 sharps
• 7 flats
