The Match-up magnets enable students to learn and practice crucial aspects of music theory through hands-on interaction. As the proverb says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." The Note and Rest Value magnets are for students to practice the fundamentals of rhythm. Students can practice matching 12 notes and rests with their correct name and number of beats. The magnets match up with a zigzag pattern, which keeps the notes/rests on the left, the note names in the middle, and the number of beats on the right. The set includes both US and UK note/rest names. The Rhythm magnets help learners to gain an understanding and feel for rhythm. Students can mix and match the magnets to build bars of duple, triple and quadruple rhythms, to see how rhythm works in simple time. Students can clap the bars to a teacher, to hear and feel the rhythms they have built. The Match-up magnets are made of quarter inch (6mm) thick magnetic-backed foam, making them easy to pick up and place on the magnetic Staff Board.
