The Kodaly (British Kodaly Academy) - http://www.britishkodalyacademy.org/ - do some great ones - about £25 a pack.

Violinia

What kind?
Perhaps you could make them?
I recently bought an A4 laminator from Tesco for £17:97 and have used it for allsorts including flashcards.

I bought 100 coloured ones from my newsagents last year fro 99p. WH Smith have some good ones too.

Chester's flash cards are good.They also come in a plastic wallet. About a fiver.

ISBN 0-7119-2159-8

WH Smith do some plain, coloured and lined ones for £1.99, you get a 100 in each pack. They're buy one get one free or something at the moment, because it is exam season

Buy one get one free. This phrase is up there with the words sale and reduced. Tis wonderful...off there tomorrow. Thanks for that.

Apologies if this is a really stupid question...but what have the WH Smith flash cards got on them? Are they full of musical notes - for note recognition?! I'd be interested to know because an adult has asked me for some. Thanks.

I haven't seen the WHSmith ones,but they must be the same.Notation and such. There are also some musical card games,like Classical Snap, Musical Pairs,Quartet and Measure Up.Again around a fiver each.

Update: Ventured into WHSmith ...a big shop. They don't stock flash cards...except some ladybird things for toddlers.

But it wasn't wasted time as box files etc are 1/2 price

I don't think they're called flash cards, the one I mean. I'll look on the website for you

OH wait! I have misunderstood you. You mean ones with musical things on? Not just blank cards with lines on???

These may help for MUSICAL flash cards:

Ahhhh. I must have misunderstood. I know hal leonard do coloured ones and reading the other posts I thought WHS did something similar.

Sorry, were the above sites helpful?

Thanks Nicki_flute

I may order the Chesters cards. I wonder if they are available through music shops? I've never seen them. I may give them a go!

Thank.

Rosemary.

Yes Rosemary, you should be able to get the Chester flashcards from music shops. I also have a set of Bastien flashcards which are a bit more advanced - key signatures, intervals as well as nore basic cards.

Dear Nicki

This is something for you for your trouble.

I tried to get the direct link ,but couldn't. Scroll down and click on White Horses... the programme was rather dull and in black & white,but still a fab tune.

As Tony Christie is in the charts again,who remembers his other hit from The Protectors??? I have never forgotton the opening credits when Robert Vaughn threw a bit of bacon to his great dane and cracked open two eggs with one hand.I have never been able to do that!!!!

Thought The Flashing Blade...another Saturday morning kids programme from the 70s was in this lot,but it isn't.

Noodle...the CD has arrived at the library...the Lee Hazlewood or Hazelwood one. Going to collect it tomorrow.

Good. That didn't take too long. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for taking the time to get all those links for me I really appreciate it!

Nicki

Hoped you liked it!

Noodle

There really isn't enough time in the day to get through everything at the moment.

Just started to play the CD. It's in the same vein as Bacharach and Mr Hazlewood has a southern drawl to his voice. A bit cowboyish...but then again it isn't C & W which doesn't do anything for me. It's rather strange listening them boots sung by a man.

First impressions is that the CD is nice background music...nothing profound nor inspiring. Disc 1 has 22 tracks and Disc 2 has 13.

Mmmmmm... I don't think it's worth buying unless it's about a fiver. I think it would begin to irritate me after a while...BUT...definitely worth 50p to hire for a week from the library. The Corrs have yet to arrive.I think this is a better bet.



PS I wish the weather was like this yesterday!!! Glorious here.

We had lovely weather this morning and thunderstorms and rain this afternoon :-\

I did like the track, thanks a lot
