Getting Started

When I first discovered that there were theory games for free to print on the internet I was super excited! Then I quickly became overwhelmed - there were SOOOO many!!!! I created this blog as a collection of my favorite games and activities that I use along with my own games. My goal is to have at least one game to teach every theory concept. If this is your first time adding games to your piano lessons please read my Tips for Getting Started post for my suggestions to make it easier! There are a lot of affiliate links to make getting started a little easier! I hope you have a great Party at YOUR Piano!

Theory Tests

My goal is to have a game to review every theory concept and a way to test their understanding at the end of each level. I have students in both the alfred and in the faber series - over time I will have a list of every concept taught in the theory books along with the games that will help them and a test at the end of the theory book! It is quite the process please keep checking back!

Key Signatures

Color in My Piano made a great key signature game.  It is shown here as an electronic game but she also has a printable version that I use.

IPad mini matching music worksheets


I printed up her pages on cardstock starting on page 8 of her download.  I cut off the bottom half of the paper that shows the key signatures.  I then cut up each of the "keys" so they could place them on the correct key signature.  The kids seem to enjoy putting the keys in the right place and I don't have to wipe off their lines when then are done!  It's been a fantastic teaching tool!


I numbered each set to help keep them together - so I printed page eight onto cardstock, cut the page in half, cut each of the keys to be individual keys and then put a number one on the back of each key and on the front of the key signatures.  I printed all of her different sets so I have a beginner set or I can focus on sharps or flats and eventually we do the page with all of them mixed up.  It has been a great teaching tool!
