“As a teacher the drag and drop notes are incredible! I love how I can tailor it to the range of notes a beginner knows, or focus on a particular set of notes that are recent and relevant”.
Music Teacher
There are so many ways music teachers can use the games in this pack. The only limit is imagination!
- Six games have draggable notes which you can move into any position on the stave. Take the complexity out of reading and ask students to play the short line of notes in free time.
- Two games include some simple rhythms (1, 2, 3 and 4 beat notes) and time signatures which can be dragged on to the stave.
- All the exercises are marked by the teacher with scores out of five. This is added to the total game score.
- The in-built exercises can easily be replaced with any sight-reading of your choice (including the bonus book) when your beginner student is ready for more.
This music pack comes with a PDF file of printable and colourful leaderboard templates for extra fun and motivation for your students! Increase engagement by setting up a leaderboard challenge and pin up on your studio wall
