Do you remember when you learned how to read?

You couldn't wait to show off your new skill to everyone you knew and couldn't get your hands on enough books (both old and new). You loved the feeling of being independent and learning on your own.

It's the same with learning to read music.

We start by listening and imitating, and exploring sounds and tonal and rhythm patterns. These are like words in language. Then, we build our musical vocabulary with new and more advanced tonal and rhythm patterns and begin understanding how music is put together.

Help your older elementary children understand the language of music and develop their reading skills.

This kit is designed for Older Elementary-age children (3rd-5th grade).

Inside, you'll find two sets of printable tonal pattern cards:

• C major and D minor

• Tonic, dominant, and subdominant chord tones

• Quarter notes, half notes, and eighth notes

• 44 cards each

And four sets of printable rhythm pattern cards:

• Quadruple and triple meters

• Quarter notes, half notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and quarter rests

• 32 cards each

216 cards total
