Several teachers have found that tactile learning is a huge benefit to their students! From learning note names on the staff, to creating rhythms, these magnet-back buttons are a helpful hands-on aid! These buttons have a magnet-back to use on white boards (white board not included).
This pack comes contains 29 magnet buttons:
Music Alphabet letters A-G
Numbers 1-6
8 filled in noteheads (for quarter notes or 8th notes)
4 white noteheads (for whole notes or half notes)

Ideas for using these buttons:
Have students place the letters on the staff

Place the letters on the keyboard and have your student move them to the whiteboard to show correspondence between staff and keyboard, and vice versa.

Create rhythms and have students place numbers under the correct beats.
Trace your student's hand on the white board and have them place the numbers on the correct finger.
Practice drawing stems in the correct direction.
Create rhythms using the note heads, and even have students place numbers under the correct beats.
Create a rhythm for your student to sightread.
