WHAT CUSTOMERS LOVE ABOUT THIS SERIES:
“OK, this is one of my new favorite resources. My second graders have a district common assessment where they have to dictate do, re, and mi melodies. This file made this year’s group much more confident and successful. I love that you included different timbres and moved do around. A student made the observation, “that one is higher, but it sounds the same.”
“I love this interactive basics series for my students. It’s an easy way for me to intigrate technology into my lessons, without me having to do all of the work to make this kind of presentation. There is so much detail that goes into a project like this, thank you for creating such a wonderful tool!”
“Thank you!! I love all your resources. Looking forward to adding this to the basics!!”
