A Tabletop Resource!

Recently I bought this fabulous resource and I have been thrilled with it!

This tabletop pocket chart worked wonderfully at my latest Discovery Camp, as you can tell by the cards I made to go it in.  Because the pockets are in rows, I added cards to a row (or two) each day we had camp to remind them of the concept we were learning.  Each day I was able to review them with a wonderful visual resource!  This picture shows day 2 of camp after we had learned the letters of the musical alphabet and our finger numbers.

I'm excited to use this resource in group workshops as well.  Once you determine your plans, it's easy to make your own cards/visuals!  I can envision using it with a composer study - add the name of the composer to the top and then add cards with his/her compositions or composer facts.  If you study a composer a month, this would be a great reminder for your students to look at each week. 

Other ideas include using it to work on composition skills, using it to work with your incentive program, building rhythm cards, or even using it for studio anouncements.  The really nice thing is that it's really versitle!  And when you're not using it, it folds down flat, making it easy to store!
