Note Knacks by Kristin Pugliese are a system of music notation blocks that even your youngest learners can hold and manipulate to create and perform their own musical compositions.  These specially proportioned blocks display a musical note on one side and its corresponding rest on the back.  Blocks represent whole, half, quarters, either and sixteenth notes and are color coded so the name of each color says the rhythm.  Note Knacks fit into three time signature frames that ensure children stay within the parameters of conventional notation while en joying the freedom to create.  Above all, Note Knacks are simple to understand and easy to use!

The benefits of using Note Knacks have been proven again and again:

• Enables hands-on learning
• Reveals the meaning behind notation
• Explains notes and rests simultaneously
• Teaches music standards while encouraging creativity
• Creates tangible assessments
• Provides concert material with minimal preparation
• Is suitable for large groups, small groups and one-on-one instruction
• Is appropriate for all types of learners from kindergarten up
