    I was hoping to use and tweak some of these items into a digital notebook. It just wasn’t what I was looking for with my 7th-8th grade general music. I see they now offer a digital version—I wish I had gotten it instead.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Hi Emily, I’m so sorry that the notebook didn’t work out for you. Please reach out to TPT for a refund. You can contact them via the following link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact. I would hate for you to be out the money without a resource that works for your students.

    I’m not really sure if I understand the purpose. The directions for setting it up need to be more clear

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Hi Robin. Thank you for the meaningful feedback. I have a blog post that I wrote about interactive notebooks, which you can find in the directions of the download. Hopefully, this helps to clarify my thought process behind the notebooks. I will definitely keep your feedback in mind for future revisions πŸ™‚
