The digital supplement was created with the SMART Notebook software and has been accredited with SMART's Premium Content Status. Note: Not all visuals are intended for digital use. The barred instrument signs are NOT included in this digital supplement.

GAMEBOARD is sold as a complete set of eight components, a total of 132 pieces. Each component is listed and explained below:

The 35” X 20” visual may visualize pentatonic keys, isolate groups of pitches, or display scales or scale patterns. The teacher may demonstrate melodic or harmonic patterns, left or right hand sticking, and directionality.

The 35”X20” body percussion staff may be used to create pulse ostinati to accompany poems, songs, or recorded music. The four levels of sound may be transferred to unpitched or pitched instruments, and the visual reinforces tracking left to right.

The 7”X35” solfege ladder is a tool for visualizing high and low, conducting melodic patterns, and creating scales. The reversible pieces allow the teacher to display any configuration isolating specific pitches.
