Color In My Piano made this great review game called Adventures in Music. I have used it both as a one player game at the end of a lesson or at a group theory party. The student rolls the dice and moves their marker to a spot. There are two different stacks of cards for them to pick from depending on what spot they land on. The game reviews basic symbols, notes and intervals. It took some time to cut out all of the little cards but I have enjoyed having a fun way to review so many different concepts in one game. Since the cards are so small it was worth laminating them (and you do need to print both sides!) - again a pain but I think it was worth it!
You will need some dice for this game as well as some kind of fun marker - I use the ones found in the Learning Notes and Keys post with all sorts of fun toys!
I love teaching piano and making it fun! I use theory games at the end of most lessons to teach almost all theory concepts. I have found so many fun ideas on the internet and am excited to share my favorites with you along with how I have used or modified the games. I'm also excited to share with you some of my own creations so you can have a Party at Your Piano!
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!
gorgeous ! I love your game, It's fantastic, thank you very much!!! :)
