Instructional Ideas
- Use as a quick warm-up in a music appreciation class, or as a creative assessment activity
- Have class members share their compositions with peers, small groups, or the whole class
Classroom Considerations
- Time signature is in 4/4 in both beginning and advanced settings
- Does not include options to change the key signature; best used to review notes on the staff and their beats
- Possible notes do not include sharps or flats
Pros
- Provides an advanced setting for learners to try out dotted quarter notes and dotted half notes
- Bank of music notes provides the number of beats each one requires
- Tool ensures that pupils can only include only four beats per measure
Cons
- None
