There are lots of new words for beginning band and orchestra students, so I made a music literacy word wall where students can see these words in a prominent spot in the room spelled correctly and with a picture. They are roughly grouped together by topic and then get added to the wall once we cover them in class. Here's a partial listing of the words, no pictures, sorry:
It's exciting to see students scan the word wall to try and find the answer to a question of the week or to use the wall as a reference when writing compositions and needing to check how to draw a certain musical symbol. They know that the words are there as a handy visual reference for them.
