The Notorious NoteBoys Teach Major Scales
If you’re not familiar with my NoteBoys, they are the goofy characters I use to add a little humor to music theory. My students have learned the personalities of each NoteBoy and look forward to new installments of the series. They actually laugh at loud! I usually make one good copy, laminate it, and keep it on the sofa table so that students can look at it while they wait for their lesson. I also pull them out when I see that students need a more visual explanation of some theory concepts. Concepts include ledger lines, tonic and dominant, clef signs, Roman numerals, and many more. Each poster has one concept.
There are two bundles with eight posters in each bundle.

Last week I was at the Texas Music Teachers convention. I enjoyed meeting a lot of teachers who like my website and I am very honored by your appreciation of what I do. I brought home a lot of new music and a few books in particular that I want to review. The major publishers were there, but unfortunately some of their sessions were at the same time so I’m sure there was a lot I missed.

The Note Boys are so fun! Do you have a Noteboys worksheet for teaching minor scales? Thanks for sharing all of your sheets–they have been a wonderful help to me!
No, I don’t have a NoteBoys for minor scales, but it is a good idea. The Noteboys comics take me an incredible amount of time to make, but I have a few I’m working on. My students really love them.
I can’t wait to use Noteboys with my students this summer! THANK YOU, Susan!! 🙂
LOVE NOTEBOYS! This one is great! They are all great! 🙂
The Noteboys are terrific! They will be a great visual for my teens and adults, as well as the younger kids. I love way you’ve used a simple, yet humorous picture to make these challenging concepts more fun. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Love it! Thanks for all of these great teaching aids!
Thanks for another great NoteBoy page. And thanks for sharing these. My students love them.
I simply ADORE your NoteBoys. I, too, laminate them and put them up on the studio wall. Thanks!
You continue to amaze me! Thank you again and again for sharing with your fellow teachers. Deborah
Thanks Karen and Deborah. Of all the things I do, the NoteBoys are the most fun!
