A great resource to encourage independent thinking and growth mindset. Particularly useful with KS4 composition lessons, these cards allow students to think about what to do next, without having to ask the teacher. I have them in a folder attached to a growth mindset wall. Students can come and help themselves to a card when they need a new idea. The idea is that you take the first card and try and incorporate that idea instead of looking through until you find something you want to include. Easy to make. Just print on coloured card so they look good and cut out.

Useful resource for helping students learn pitch notation. Cards cover a range of octaves in both treble and bass clefs. Can be used for many games, from musical snap, or matching enharmonics, to sorting pitches into scales. If it gets too easy you could play whilst transposing each note up or down. Each sheet has one pitch. You will have 8 sets in total from one set of printing.
