I had no idea such a thing existed, so later on today I’ll definitely be playing some bat themed music games with my students….
One of the first music theory games I ever made is called “Who Stole My Doughnut?”. At the time I had a rather mischievous dog who enjoyed long walks, belly rubs, and playing catch. But their favourite (and most annoying!) past time was “counter surfing”. I lost count of the amount of times I’d make…

Once upon a time a dragon called Derek roamed the land. He was a friendly soul, despite appearances, and couldn’t help the fire that popped out of his mouth. All he really wanted to do was say hello! In this online music theory game, your mission is to save the castle from burning down. Each…
