    This was my first experience using interactive notebooks and this resource made my life so much easier! The students were able to learn music literacy and use these notebooks as a reference and study guide. Very valuable resource.

    I have been thinking of incorporating this type of notebook for my General Music class and I found this resource helpful in preplanning an interactive notebook for myself digitally and for a physical copy that my students can use in class. I love the layouts but will need to change a few things so that they align more to my teaching style and my student’s ability levels.
