One of my first creations was a way to call out keyboard letters. I had some thick foam shapes that I wrote each of the letters of the musical alphabet on. You could use these
mini dominoes, which I also use for
teaching chords, and write the letters on the back. Each letter is used 3 times. I use these in lots of different ways! One of my favorite is to call out a letter and the student puts a fun toy on the keyboard.
I have all sorts of random toys I like to use to go on the piano keys. I try to pick toys that won't scratch the keys. These
rubbery frogs work well....
Several students like these sports erasers that I found. You can use
these from Amazon.com
Here are some other random toys that I use!
Squinkies (small rubbery animals - the girls favorites!!),
army men (a favorite with the boys),
rubber animals...there are lots of fun options to create a Party at the Piano!!
I will also use the foam letters at the top of the page to call out a letter and the student has to swat the correct note/flashcard. I love these
fly flashcards that Susan Paradis created! You can find the ways I use them
here.
