An absolutely indispensable music classroom resource.<br /> <br /> This differentiated set of keyboard cards gives your learners the support they need when working at the keyboard. <br /> There are 2 sets, one in colour (boomwhacker colours) and the other in black and white.<br /> <br /> The colour set contains 3 x treble clef and 3x bass clef cards which include three different combinations of letter names and notation.<br /> The black and white set moves the learner on from the boomwhacker colours but includes the same combination of note names and notation.<br /> <br /> They are provided on A3 and will likely require some 'tinkering' with your photocopier so that they fit your individual keyboards. Once printed onto card, or onto paper and laminated, this resource can last for years.<br /> <br /> Your feedback is always gratefully received. Thanks.
