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!

Notes with Flies!

This is a favorite with my beginning piano students...who doesn't like to smack a fly!  Susan Paradis made these fly flashcards.  I lay them out on the piano bench - don't put them too close together!   I draw a foam letter from my box and call the letter out and the student smacks the correct fly!  I did laminate these and they have held up really well.


I found a mini tennis racquet and a fake lollipop that the kids can choose between to hit the flies with. They can also just hit the fly with their hand or use a basic fly swatter.
