Dr. Seuss Ta and Ti-Ti
This product is excellent for teaching Ta and Ti-Ti! I printed these out and laminated them for future use and taught Ta and Ti-Ti with a Dr. Seuss themed unit. While teaching how poems can have beat and rhythm, I used the Dr. Seuss characters to represent Ta and Ti-Ti. Following their understanding of Ta and Ti-Ti, the students used them to compose and read back their compositions to me. Use these however you want and make sure to laminate them so you have them forever!
Enjoy!

I currently use this to teach a 45 minute group piano, general music, music theory, and brass ensemble. I will upload another option that includes a "lesson objective". Hopefully this helps out some o
