NoteStackers Level 4 Presentation Edition uses Treble C up to High C. For this level, students are given a note in the middle and then write in that note name. From there, they can drag the notes in the upper corners to the staff, then name this note!

Wanna know the best part? You can use this with any age and level of students and classes, not just beginners!

Let's explain...

• Intervals:

  • "What's a Skip Above that note?"
  • "What's A Skip that note?"
  • "What's a 4th below, and a 4th above that note?"

• Chords:

  • "That note is the 3rd of the chord, give the root and 5th"

• Inversions:

  • "The note is the Root of the chord, give the 3rd above it, 5th below it, and name the inversion"

The versatility is priceless and the possibilities for this game are endless!

In total, there are 10 slides in this presentation:

• Title Slide
• Intro Slide and Instructions
• Treble C Slide
• Treble D Slide
• Treble E Slide
• Treble F Slide
• Treble G Slide

The best part: you can use this with any presenter software you have!

Note, this product is only to be used by the original purchaser and may not be distributed to other teachers/schools. We appreciate getting referrals for our products!

Arranged nice and neatly on your template are all click and drag-able Boomwhacker colors and widely used classroom percussion, Tubanos, Maracas, and Tambourines with a quarter note rest as well.

There are 8 templates included in the powerpoint with different variations of quarter and eighth note rhythms

Have a great time with this, a fun way to get creative with composition!

So you've finally covered all of the instruments and their respective families! How's about an interactive game where the students identify the instruments in the order they hear them? Look no farther than Instrument Drag n' Drop! Students will listen to the musical examples (some synthesized and some real samples!) and be given 3 instrument choices (some all in the same family, some in different families, and some within the same range). After listening to the musical instruments, students have to put those instruments in the order that they heard them. If you're using an interactive whiteboard, students can drag the instrument to the answer box below after they are finished listening the example. The teacher will then advance the slide to display the correct answer! There are 10 examples included in this lesson along with 10 corresponding sound files. Although designed for an IWB, students can play on personal dry erase boards or can even split the class up boys vs girls, team 1 vs team 2, etc, and have a race to identify the correct answers in the correct order first first. Have a great time with this and if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Happy Instrumenting!

So you've taught your kids their three basic solfege syllables (Sol, La, and Mi) and looking for a way to identify the pitches in an interactive game... look no further!

In Solfege Drag 'n Drop, students are challenged to identify Sol, La, and Mi in a series of musical examples. A static example of quarter notes (in groups of 4, 5, or 6) are placed on the "Sol" line, and then the example is played. Students will have to take the pen from the IWB to drag the remaining notes to reflect what was heard in the musical example. It can be dragged above to the "La" line, remain on the "Sol" line, or dragged below to the "Mi" line. After locking in their answer, the teacher will advance to the next slide to reveal their answer.

Although designed for an IWB, students can play on personal dry erase boards, on staff paper, or however you wish. You can even split the class up boys vs girls, team 1 vs team 2, etc, and have a race to identify the correct answer first.

There are 15 examples in the powerpoint ranging from beginner (4 quarter notes) to advanced (6 quarter notes). All examples are MM=100 or below

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Happy Solfeging!

If you're in the neighborhood of comparing and contrasting rhythms, this interactive activity may be for you and your younger kids! In "It's the Same Difference!", two students are called to the Interactive White Board and compete against each other (the default title is Team 1, Team 2, but you can do boys vs girls, colors, etc). Two melodic figures are played back to back and the students will then drag (using the IWB pan) a "SAME" box or "DIFFERENT" box to their respective answer box and lock in their answer. Advance the slide and the answer is displayed! The rotation goes 9 more times with more students permitted to come to the IWB. This activity can be modified and does not need to be used on an IWB. Students can be split into groups, write on personal whiteboards, or can call answers independently. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them in the section. Thank you!

Here's a great way to review the recorder fingerings and a terrific chance for you to use your IWB abilities! In "Recorder Mix n Match" students will see recorder fingerings on the left hand side of the board and blank answer boxes on the right hand side of the board All you do? Drag the recorder fingerings into the correct box! Want to check your answer? Advance the slide and the fingerings will pop up in the box below! This is the beginners version, great for your first few notes! Included are Low C, D, E, F#, G, A, B, and C If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a comment! Happy matching!

Based off the hit Windows 3.11 game we all knew and loved, Solfege Sweeper is a progressive game where one slip can end you up on the dreaded mine! This will have your kids reading and mastering solfege in NO TIME! Students will see a grid of 40 squares on the home page. Each square contains either a link to a solfege syllable.... or a mine :) I select one student at a time to pick a number. I'll then click on the number and it'll advance to the designated slide. If it's a solfege syllable, we add that solfege syllable to the Building Board on the home page. The teacher will click "Back to Game and Building Board" and put the solfege syllable they just received on the board. As for the solfege syllable they earned, you can cut out the included syllables (make a bunch of copies!), write them in dry erase, or have a student keep tabs on the side. Students will now sing the solfege syllables back in order. Then we repeat! See how it gets progressive? ;) AND what a great way to do a composition. Heck, you should get your piano involved too! ...until the mine! There are 5 mines in each game, and once the mine is hit, it's GAME OVER! At the end, you can tally up how many syllables the class amassed. Compete against other classes, or themselves! There are 5 files in the pack and each one is completely different (all the syllables are mixed up and of course, so are the mines) Syllables included are DO, MI, SOL, and LA. Have fun with this and let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment!
