The follow-up to "Rhythm Wind Up and PITCH! and MELODY Wind Up and PITCH!"
______________________________________

This one will get the kids on their edge of their seats!

You will need 1 thing for this particular game:

• A sticky suction cup ball (or maybe a soft squishy ball)

The students will see an instrument at the bottom of their screen and memorize the timbre of the instrument (should know beforehand what it is and how it sounds!) They will then hear a musical example of an endless loop of orchestral and band instruments playing in all different ranges from low to high (Teacher will click the speaker icon to play)

Take a listen...

....

....

One of the instruments will be the instrument that is on the screen. AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THAT INSTRUMENT, they throw their suction cup ball at the target. The first kid who gets it correct is the winner (and make sure you advance the slide to make the target turn green) :)

Obviously, we cannot play this as a class because of

1. The amount of suction cup balls tossed at the screen would be insane

2. Team A v Team B would be a bit more competitive and only two balls would be launched at once

If you don't have a whiteboard/projection screen, you can alternatively have the students raise their hand when they hear it and choose the kid who has their hand up the fastest.

Have a great time with this fast paced game!

The NoteStackers line of products is EXPANDING! We're excited to introduce the Digital Presentation editions! These Digital Presentation versions allow for more interaction for students and classes both in-person and online!

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

Let's explain...

  • "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
• Treble A Slide

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

In "KING CAT", introduce your kids to some great music from indigenous instruments from Africa! Using your classroom Djembe or Tubanos, learn the music by rote by taking it one rehearsal section at a time (with rehearsal markings [A], [B], [C], and so forth). This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands, especially with trickier syncopations and advanced rhythms such as sequential triplets and sixteenth notes!

The notation on the first space F is a bass (middle of the drum) and the notation on the third space C is a tone (four fingers near the rim of the drum, pitched a bit higher)

At the end, wrap it up and put on a show! Want to layer it?

• Have tambourines or shakers play on specified beats (try 2 and 4)
• Have shakers play 16th notes all the way throughout or in specific sections
• Have half the class play 1st and 3rd measures, the other half play 2nd and 4th measures
• Do it in a round! :)

Use this in class, a concert, a parent showcase, admin, faculty and staff, whatever you wish!

Have a terrific time with this one :)

It's never a bad time to review rhythms with your students, and have we got an interactive game for you!

Our HEARTBEATS INTERACTIVE GAME is a great way to not only review beats and rhythms but tie in technology as well!

This is a zipped resource that includes a presentation software interactive game, and accompanying worksheets if you'd like to use them! Since the game is a presentation file format, you can upload and use this with popular presentation applications such as Google Slides, Mac Keynote, and Microsoft PowerPoint, and you can try to upload this
