When kids play with Music-Go-Rounds—in group games, listening & movement activities, at the whiteboard, on charts, or in centers—they build confidence and skills. Manipulatives are like “hands” for your brain: they help you “grasp,” understand, and remember concepts. Like building blocks, the elements of music can be combined in wondrous ways.
These 10 sets of MGRs are tools to experiment with the elements in both class and centers. Whether listening to works and identifying the elements, putting the MGRs on the whiteboard, orchestrating a chant or tune and adding various elements, then changing them, or playing relay or identification games, the kids are moving and doing to learn--so the concepts "stick".
