Diatonic Piano (legal size 8.5 x 14)

(C Major Diatonic Mat)

The C Major Diatonic Mat is a priority tool for teaching music theory. All of MrMikes melodic mats, including the A-Minor, Xylophone, C Major and Black & White Piano Mat are templates for teaching basic music theory.

The C-Major Mat teaches 4+ aspects of the music alphabet. The colors are Boomwhacker tube colors. The mat includes the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. They read the words of the colors, Red-Orange-Yellow-Lime Green-Green-Purple Magenta and the octave Red C. The mat includes the singing C major scale Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La Te-Do.

Matching the color MrMikes Note Tiles is a hands-on tactile activity and speeds up the learning process.

(Color Coded System)

My color-coded system is used throughout my curriculum.

It’s based on the current colors of Boomwhackers and various similar bell and melodic instruments. MrMikes system teaches the Boomwhacker colors with lines and spaces of the Treble Clef.

My system also has quarter and eighth note ensembles with Boomwhackers, playing different quarter / eighth note beats.

Utilizing MrMikes method for sight-reading and rhythmic learning will advance your students skills at a higher level, and much quicker. You’ll be amazed at students sight-reading skills as they learn lines and spaces from the reinforced MrMike’s color system.

MrMikesMusicMats has 30+ color-coded mats in the curriculum that teach the theory of rhythm and melody. Including a minor scale, C diatonic scale, quarter note rhythms, chromatic scale, lines and spaces of the treble clef.
