Note Knacks
What teachers are saying
about Note Knacks®!
“I believe Note Knacks are the single most important
purchase I’ve made in over 11 years of teaching
elementary music. The children ‘get it’ almost
immediately. And in 2nd grade when they are learning
fractions with their regular teacher, we are able to do
the same in music with a very visual tool. My curriculum
revolves around them.”
- Katie, Paulding County
All this week when I poured out my Note Knacks on the
floor to set the students up for solving the first measure
of a Orff piece we are working on, students excitedly
exclaimed “Oh, I LOVE these!”
- Mrs. Hunter Y. Britton, The Villages Charter Schools
“I love it! Getting 5th graders who don’t want to do
anything – but they will use these! Note Knacks have
brought some new joy to my class and my teaching!”
- Joshua Bradford, Ft Worth, Texas
“I just had to tell you that I was able to use your Note
Knacks with my students immediately upon my return
from the conference and they were a huge hit. I am
currently in a guided composition unit with 2nd-5th
grade levels and have used Note Knacks to help students
write their rhythms. It was a great success.”
- Gary W. Lenz, Buford City, Georgia
“It has reached my kinesthetic learners and grabbed my
visual learners. The best investment in my elementary
program in years and we are already seeing the benefits!”
- Anna Jo Knight, Abernathy, Texas
“They help me do less lecture and allow the students to
explore rhythms on their own. They are also a wonderful
center tool for an introduction to composition.”
- Rachel Namain, Klein, Texas
Classroom research has shown the enormous positive impact of manipulatives on learning. Note
Knacks applies those concepts to teaching music.

“I was introduced to Note Knacks at a conference and
immediately fell in love! I knew that if I couldn’t stop
playing with them that they would be sure to keep my
students engaged. I have used them for whole group
work, workstations, composition and even rhythmic
remediation. They are one of my go-to teaching aids.”
-Tracy King, Fredericktown School District, Fredericktown,
Missouri
“I have used the Note Knacks system in my classroom
for 5 years and all I can say is “WOW!” Every student in
my school now reads rhythms at or above grade level
expectancy.”
- Kelly McGovern, Tomball, Texas
