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!

Steps and Skips

I wanted to come up with a fun way to review steps verses skips with my beginning students and since they all seem to like the Lego Movie it seemed like a perfect set-up!  

They draw a card and identify if it is a step or a skip AND if it goes up or down.  If it is a step they move one square if it is a skip then they can skip a lego block.  Some lego movie characters would be a lot of fun as the markers!  This could be with one student at the end of a lesson or with a partner at a theory party.  If you laminate them then regular paper should work just fine.  You should be able to click on the pictures and print!
