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.
