Music-Go-Rounds Manipulatives

Mix Number dots and Rhythm dots in a-rhythm-a-tic equations with our Numbers/Operators.

Manipulatives are like “hands” for your brain: they help you “grasp,” understand, and remember concepts. Like building blocks, the elements of music can be combined in wondrous ways and Mark Burrows provides over 40 activities to help do just that!

Mark Burrows's fun game-oriented approach using MGR manipulatives makes concept “stick,” and empowers kids to combine the elements and compose their own music.

This clever counting rhyme by Lloyd Moss introduces orchestral instruments and musical ensemble terms—solo, duet, trio, quartet, etc. Our manipulatives make it fun to interact with the story.

Music-Go-Rounds are a great visual and manipulative tool to help kids focus, listen actively, and remember more!

Both poster and spinner have PDF Activity Guides with many suggestions for teaching and games involving both color and keys.

Create rhythm grooves, choose patterns of rhythms and instruments to create a sound story or chant, set up a groove, select instruments and ensembles groupings, listen to music and guess the ensemble.

Learn about ensembles: terminology and how many in each. Cross over to math, too.  Both are more fun with manipulatives.

Perform rhythm patterns with body percussion and up the challenge with different groups playing only certain rhythms.
