Note Knacks
HANDS-ON MUSIC LITERACY
Note Knacks are an interactive, hands-on learning tool that allows children to learn and absorb music notation
concepts by working with these specially-designed manipulatives. The tiles provide kids with a physical
representation of the five different rest and note values by length, color and notation. The note is on one side;
the rest is on the other. Also, each tile is color coded so if you say the color, you say the rhythm! Included time
signature “frames” for 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 time allows kids to self-correct their work.
The Note Knacks lesson plans that supplement the tiles works for all kinds of learners utilizing visual, aural, and
kinesthetic cues, and offers opportunities for quick and easy assessments in the classroom and can be used in
a classroom, small group setting, or individually. Children are able to internalize the concepts and create their
own compositions, building a strong musical foundation.
