The Essential Board for Every Music Teacher
The Sound Shapes Staff Board features a clean double-staff layout designed specifically for magnetic notation work and hands-on theory instruction.
Sized at 18 × 24 inches with 1-inch staff spacing, it works seamlessly with all Sound Shapes pieces and fits most music stands and piano racks. The reverse side provides a blank dry-erase surface for additional lesson flexibility.
Each board is individually prepared using high-contrast adhesive staff striping. This construction creates a durable, wipeable surface built to withstand repeated writing, erasing, and daily studio use. The board can be cleaned with a towel and glass cleaner as needed without compromising the staff lines.

A complete toolkit for rhythm fluency
The Rhythm Suite gives teachers a clear, hands-on way to model rhythmic values, subdivisions, and beamed groupings so students can understand rhythm structure quickly and accurately. With movable pieces for whole through sixteenth-note values, it’s designed for counting practice, subdivision work, rhythm dictation, drills, and interactive sequencing that replaces worksheets and makes rhythm easier to see, hear, and internalize. Perfect for piano lessons, group classes, and music classrooms, this set helps students build confident, fluent rhythm skills through physical learning.
Fits any staff board with 1-inch spaced lines.

Time Signatures completes the Sound Shapes system by bringing rhythm and meter fully into your hands-on instruction. Instead of students glancing past the time signature at the beginning of a piece, it becomes something they build, manipulate, and actively use on the staff. This 20-piece set allows you to build virtually any meter found in standard repertoire, with enough numbers to display two full time signatures at once.
Fits any staff board with 1-inch spaced lines.
