Notes

  • Like all Music Mind Games materials, the blue jello cards set 1 not used as a set of flash cards. Instead, the cards are read together, and students learn by imitating the pronunciation, steady beat, and tempo of their teacher's voice.
  • Each new note or rest is introduced one at a time. The new note or rest first appears on one card in context with previously learned notes and rests. The next card features only the new note or rest. This sequence is followed by several cards with the new note or rest and previously learned notes and rests.
  • Cards have various numbers of beats. This way, when time signatures are learned, one meter doesn't feel “more correct” than another one.

Features

  • 29 double-sided cards featuring 58 Blue Jello patterns
  • The cards are 8 inches (20.3 cm) long and 2 inches (5.08 cm) tall
  • 2 guide cards for learning the Blue Jello words, hand signs, and drawings
  • Brief instructions for using the cards
