Here is an interactive ppt setup as a music groovebox. Ideal for use with film and video game music units. Each pad triggers a sample which can be used in conjunction with the other pads. These can be used as a fun way to model/improvise with different compositional devices such as, augmentation/diminution, Pedal/Drone, Motif, Arpeggio/Chords/Inversions etc. To use the ppt file you will need to Download it and run it locally (not via web 360 or google docs sorry!) Run the ppt in presentation mode

This is a set of printable colour posters to display musical notation of note values from whole note to sixteenth notes. The Pack contains 2 versions for each note value to suit the system you teach. Set one uses note names and notation (Semibreve…minim…etc) Set two uses qauntize values and notation (whole…1/2…etc) Depending on your students and class space you can use either or both freely. The note values and rests are colour matched. They will work as a display in your music room to create a giant collage by positioning them side by side or they could be used as a border. remember you can also print them to A3 for larger coverage.

Printable colour posters of with graphic icons and standard language to aide learning of the key musical elements and their meanings. These posters act as a scaffold to reduce cognitive load and to give a non music visual cue.
