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!

Whole and Half Steps

We have had a lot of fun with this whole and half step game from Pianimation.  The student places a fun toy on any key and then draws a card telling them how many half or whole steps to move.  I have used all sorts of rubbery animals and other toys on the keys.  My Learning Notes and Keys post has other ideas for toys to put on the piano!  This has really helped with understand the difference between half and whole steps especially between E and F or B and C.
