Why You'll Love It:
A cohesive turkey-and-fall visual world carries students through the whole set, from note identification to a full 4-measure composition, so it works as a one-off warm-up or a week-long unit. Print-and-go pages sit alongside hands-on ones — dice, cut-and-paste, color-by-code — so you can match the activity to the day.
