Music Element Help Cards
There are 14 cards in this file. Each card features information about a different element of music in a convenient size for tabletop reminders.

If you laminate them and tape them to tabletops or keyboard music stands, they last for ages! Mine are in their third year of usage at the moment.

Escape the Music Room
This is a fun, escape room themed activity for a music class that also reinforces musical concepts. There are 7 different puzzles to solve using music knowledge such as rhythmic values, tempo markings, and note names. It is possible to set this up in a single classroom and have stations for the clues. If you have the space, it also works to use breakout spaces for separate clues. My middle schoolers loved it and generally solved it in 30-40 minutes. My Grade 5 pupils worked through the escape room with some hints, but were able to complete it with help.
Fair warning, this entire escape room is based on a musical pun so if you are into punny jokes, this one is for you!
Included:
All clues in PNG format
Answers to all of the clues
A walkthrough/set-up suggestions
One clue needs to be on a piano. A picture of a piano can work in a pinch
