These theory games are so useful to revise the beginner’s music theory. It covers all topics we learn as a beginner learner. It is a great idea to put fun games and learning materials together so young students don’t get bored when they actually study music theory. Thank you for this wonderful theory games!

The music games are perfect for beginners in their first year of learning and cover the following topics:
- note values (1, 2, 3 and 4 beats)
- rest values (1, 2 and whole bar rests)
- time signatures (2, 3 and 4 beats in a bar – missing bar lines or completing a bar)
- names of the white piano keys (even if students don’t play the piano, a knowledge of the keys of a piano can be very useful when learning theory)
- musical signs (such as simple dynamic signs, treble and bass clefs etc.).
