Keyboard Connection

(submitted by Sue)

For a keyboard unit I have put black and white construction paper on the bulletin board (in a checkerboard fashion) for the background. On the white paper I use a black magic marker to draw music symbols such as the clef signs, different kinds of notes, time signatures, accidentals, letter names, finger numbers, a piano keyboard chart, etc. If you have flashcards or other printed music symbols you could staple them on the board instead of drawing, but I have found that using only black and white for the entire blackboard is quite striking.
