CHICOPEE, Mass. (Mass Appeal) - Toccata Blocks could just change the way your children learn about rhythm and music. Catherine Schane-Lydon, the woman behind Toccata Blocks, joined us to share more.

Toccata Blocks
Proportionally shaped tiles that help music students learn about rhythm and meter.

How they work:

The time signature tile is placed into the matching base. This tile is color coded to match its base.
4/4 means 4 beats to the measure, and the quarter note gets one beat. Select the correct number of notes and rests to fit in the measure.
On the opposite side of each tile is the note’s corresponding rest.

To learn more call 855-567-8957 or visit ToccataBlocks.com .

About Toccata Blocks:

By matching the time signature blocks with their correct bases, you create just enough room for the correct number of notes and rests to fit in that measure. Toccata Blocks are perfect for music teachers and music students alike. They are portable, durable, and are fun to play with.
