Musical Signs and Symbols Flashcards - Set 2

Level: Pre K/Early Elementary    
By Helen Pace  

Set 2 of Musical Signs and Symbols Flashcards builds on the musical concepts and symbols students have learned with Set 1. 

Set 2 is sorted into rhythm patterns in the first half and melodic patterns in  the second half. Students enjoy practicing and exploring these patterns  through learning activities such as: 

• Moving with the rhythm or "shaping" melodic contours,  
• Clapping rhythms and singing contours,  
• Using/varying/combining the rhythmic or melodic patterns to create  short phrases, musical stories, etc. 
• Playing related musical flashcard games, and naming the symbols.  
  
  

Soon, students are ready to transition to reading symbols, only, on the  cards' reverse sides. 

As students progress, Sets 1 and 2 of Musical Signs and Symbols may be merged. This provides a rich source of patterns with which students can  practice and create.
