Beat Blocks for Meter and Beat: Lessons to Build Musical Minds Using Manipulatives by Abigail Blair
By using Beat Blocks manipulatives to represent meter, beat, melody, harmony, and dynamics, your students will lay the foundation of their musical learning with core lessons. But true mastery is only demonstrated when we create something new with our skills and knowledge. Your students will do just that as they build their musical minds and strengthen their understanding of the elements and intricacies of music.
