The Student Staff Lapboard is a double-sided magnetic whiteboard.

• Whiteboard both sides (music staff on the front and a blank workspace on the back).
• Magnetic both sides
• Can be used on the music stand of a piano, or at a table or kitchen bench. It fits comfortably on the student’s lap so they can practice their notes, etc, away from the piano while doing their theory or reading the Easy Notes stories.
• Ideal for use with the Easy Notes character magnets, and the Piano Keys magnets. Allows for hands-on practice of the notes which the student is learning in the Easy Notes theory books.
• The Student Staff Lapboard measures 14x10 inches (35x25 cm)
• Comes with a whiteboard pen and 12 black magnetic buttons
• Works with all of the Wilbecks magnets - the Notation magnets, the Match-up magnets and the Easy Notes magnets. The printed Grand Staff is the same on Wilbecks Staff Boards, with the staff lines the same distance apart (0.8inch/2cm apart).

The Match-up magnets enable students to learn and practice crucial aspects of music theory through hands-on interaction. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Note and Rest Value magnets are for students to practice the fundamentals of rhythm.

• Students can practice matching 12 notes and rests with their correct name and number of beats.
• The magnets match up with a zigzag pattern, which keeps the notes/rests on the left, the note names in the middle, and the number of beats on the right.
• The set includes both US and UK note/rest names.

The Rhythm magnets help learners to gain an understanding and feel for rhythm.

• Students can mix and match the magnets to build bars of duple, triple and quadruple rhythms, to see how rhythm works in simple time.
• Students can clap the bars to a teacher, to hear and feel the rhythms they have built.
  

The Match-up magnets are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the magnetic Staff Board.

The match-up magnets enable students to learn and practice crucial aspects of music theory through hands-on interaction. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Key Signature magnets help the learner to understand key signatures and the relationship between major and minor keys.

• Students can practice matching 15 key signatures with their major and minor key names.
• Beginner students can start by practicing the C major (no sharps or flats), G major (1 sharp) and F major (1 flat) key signatures, then add key signatures with more sharps and flats as they learn them.

The Intervals magnets help the learner to recognize melodic and harmonic intervals.

• Students can practice matching 8 harmonic and melodic intervals with their interval number.
• Beginner students can start with seconds and thirds (steps and skips), and add more intervals as they learn them.

The match-up magnets are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the Magnetic Staff.

The Notes and Rests notation magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation, helping students to understand how music is written and why it is written that way. Through hands-on activity students can engage with important aspects of music notation such as time signatures, key signatures, pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

The Notes and Rests magnet sheet includes:

• Notes:
• 4 whole notes (semibreves)
• 6 half notes (minims) with stems attached
• 12 quarter notes (crotchets) with stems attached
• 2 eighth notes (quavers) with stems attached
• For building chords and eighth-note groupings:
• 4 half note (minim) note-heads for building chords
• 8 black note-heads for building chords, and for forming eighth and sixteenth (etc) note groupings, with the whiteboard pen being used to draw the stems and beams.
• 6 stems for chords. The stems can also be used as bar-lines.
• 2 long stems for building larger chords
• Rests:
• 6 whole rests/half rests (semibreve/minim rests)
• 6 quarter rests (crotchet rests)
• 4 eighth rests (quaver rests)
• 8 dots for making dotted notes and rests.

The Notes and Rests notation magnets work with the magnetic staff board and student lap board as the staff lines are the same distance apart.

They are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the magnetic staff board. The notes are 3.5 inches (8.8 cm) tall. The note heads are 0.8 inch (2 cm) tall. 

The Eighth Notes & Rests notation magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation. The Eighth Notes & Rests are especially useful for clapping rhythms with a divided beat.

• 5 single eighth notes (quavers)
• 3x double beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 2x triple beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 1x quadruple beamed eighth notes (quavers)
• 6x eighth rests (quaver rests)

The Sharps & Flats magnets can be used to manipulate and create music notation, helping students to understand how music is written and why it is written that way. Through hands-on activity students can engage with important aspects of music notation such as time signatures, key signatures, pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

• 7 sharps
• 7 flats
• 4 naturals
• Time Signatures for
• Dynamic Signs:
• 4 x forte
• 4 x mezzo forte
• 2 x mezzo piano
• 4 x piano
• 2 x crescendo/diminuendo
• The Sharps and Flats magnets work with both the large and medium magnetic Staff. This is because the printed Grand Staff is the same on both boards, ie. the staff lines are the same distance apart.

The Ledger Lines set has 18 ledger lines for use with the other music notation magnets. The ledger lines are made of thin magnetic rubber so that the other music notation magnets can be placed on them.

Twelve magnetic black buttons which fit perfectly on the lines and spaces of the staff boards.
