Printable 'gold bars' which represent a bar of notation- in 3/4, 4/4 and 2/4 time, plus the coloured beats which can be laid on top for composition activities. The beats are colour coded to the Rhythmajig characters, and are the correct length to represent duration eg a crotchet takes up one beat, a minim two beats, etc. The image shows a year 4 class finding as many ways as they could to make a 4/4 bar using their beats. The bars they created were then combined to make a class composition, or could be layered, post its could be used to add note names for tuned instruments, etc.

Teaching children to read and write stave notation (recommended from year 3) is easy with this pack. Super Stave uses his hand to shoot out the lines of the stave, then his rhyme makes it easy to remember where the notes are - either on a line or in a space. He lives in the lighthouse with stave lines, which shine out to help everyone read the music.

Suitable for any year group: Legato Lion is perfect for helping children understand the meaning of the term Legato. He lives in Legato Lane, where the smooth rocks of Legato Land provide the ideal spot for sunbathing. His long silky fur is as smooth as the music he loves. Ideal for pairing with Staccato Stickleback who swims around Staccato Sands, and spikes you with his fins- ouch! His music is bumpy and spiky sounding. On instruments of your choice, children can play crotchets 'ouch ouch ouch ouch' in time with the music.

Sforz is the baddie of the Sound System, always trying to wreck the beautiful music by making horrible loud sounds. His name comes from the Italian 'loud, sudden sound'.
