What to Listen for in Music Bulletin Board Set
What educators are saying
Description
This bulletin board set is a collection of vocabulary posters for your music room designed to guide students as they listen to and discuss music.
The set includes 15 musical term posters with additional vocabulary cards for each term and 2 different decorative ribbon titles, all printable in your choice of color or black & white. Each term poster gives a definition as well as questions to get your students thinking about the music and sample vocabulary cards to get the conversation started! I have also included JPEGs for all posters and cards for printing and resizing ease, along with a printing guide and an easy edit guide for adding your own terms.
Please download the preview for a closer look!
