Turn the Circle of Fifths from a chart students memorize into a musical system they can see, hear, touch, and use. This complete learning kit connects the Circle of Fifths with keyboard geography, staff notation, key signatures, scales, chords, relative major and minor keys, and the order of sharps and flats. Students can explore concepts independently in the interactive app, then reinforce what they learn with the reversible spinner, oversized keyboard and staff charts, poster, and Music-Go-Rounds manipulatives.
Use the kit for whole-class instruction, learning centers, small groups, private lessons, assessment, or individual practice.
What's included:
- Circle of Fifths interactive app with guided exploration, playable scales and chords, a Scale Builder, key-signature activities, ear-supported keyboard practice, and self-checking games
