We believe that manipulatives are the best tools to learn new concepts and increase retention, so we love the combination of wood and silicone and cube and spinners for both math and music.

Our kit uses movement, sound, and color to teach directionality, keyboard/staff geography, lines and spaces, note names, scales, intervals, chords and basic theory.

Play, sing, and step the chromatic scale, major/minor/diminished triads, and more on both staff and keyboards mats.

All you need to make full use of our silicone manipulatives, beginning with Mark Burrows' book Music-Go-Rounds: Using Manipulatives to Teach the Elements of Music.

Extend the understanding from our basic Move-to-Read kit (99436) by adding chromatic notes, key signatures, the circle of 5ths, and a glock to hear pitches, intervals, melody & harmony.  

Introduce the instruments with the activities, and audio CD by Artie Almeida and our silicone manipulatives of the instruments.  

Mark Burrows's fun game-oriented approach using MGR manipulatives makes concept “stick,” and empowers kids to combine the elements and compose their own music.

Kit includes Knick Knack Paddy Whack Book/Enhanced CD with online access to animation and music, Conducting Poster, Baton, 15-Instruments, and 5 sets of Music-Go-Rounds.

This simple song with our silicone manipulatives is exceptional to help introduce the elements of music, learn instruments and ensembles, rhythms, orchestrate dynamics, tempos, and timbre changes, and much more!
