Make Any Book Page Into a Dry Erase Page


Turn pages from a lesson book temporarily into a dry erase worksheet! This is a great way to let students practice naming notes or discover patterns in the music without permanently marking up the page!!  Also would work great for when a student forgets their book at home and you don't want to mark up a borrowed book.

Simply take a clear sheet protector that you would use in a binder (such as the ones here)  and cut the 1 edge off with the holes (the left side in the picture above). Leave the other 2 sealed sides in tact.

Slide it over the top of a page and start writing with a dry erase marker!  




For me, I hate to have a ton of permanent "clutter" on the page. I love that after the kids mark up the music a lot, we can remove it and still see the notes clearly.  

Below is an example of a student that kept having a really hard time remembering to switch hands when playing this song. We marked all of the right hand notes in pink and left hand notes in green and played through the music a few times before removing the dry erase marker sheet and playing the music normally. Also great for labeling letters of notes, patterns, and the form of the piece!
