Wooden Stair Steps Cutouts

Wooden Stair Step Cutouts – 8-Piece Set

Explore pitch direction and melodic movement with this unique set of Wooden Stair Step Cutouts, designed to support early beginners and young students through hands-on learning. Each piece features a different step pattern, giving students a visual and physical way to understand how melodies rise, fall, and move across pitch.

This 8-piece set is fully compatible with both magnetic note dots and Solfege Magnets, and fits beautifully alongside both sizes of the Grand Staff Magnetic Boards and other staff-based resources. The shape of each stair provides an intuitive guide to vocal and instrumental patterns, making it an excellent tool for lessons focused on pitch contour, scale steps, and visual modeling.

Perfect for both early childhood music and group studio settings, these stair steps help students connect what they see with what they sing or play. Use them during centers, warm-ups, small group activities, or as part of your solfege and keyboard prep routines.
