The Piano Player is an online game where students will simultaneously learn the correct placement of a note on a musical staff and on the piano. In the game, a student is shown musical notes. Students must click on the correct key on the virtual piano. The game will also display the proper placement of the note on a staff. For example, Piano Player will display the "B" note on the staff, and the student must select the same note on the piano.
Treble Note Names Flash Card Game is an interactive game that tests the student's ability to pick out the correct notes on a musical staff. A player will be given an animated staff with a random note placed on it. Students must give the correct note name on the computer keyboard or a connected piano to score a point. A report card tracks your progress to provide an average for correct and incorrect answers. The "tips" button provides help for novice piano players.
Note matching is an activity where students have to match notes with the correct position on the treble or bass staff and also match piano terminology with its correct definition. For example, in the "Test Yourself" section of the game, students find the match for the notes listed on the left side with terms listed on the right side. The note "B" would be paired up with the box entitled "Treble Clef: 3rd Line / Bass Clef: 2nd Line."
Counting Rhythms is a game that practices writing and counting rhythms in a variety of different time signatures. Students are provided with blank boxes. The game requires you to draw the rhythm that's indicated in each space and provide the correct count for each measure. For example, a blank space will ask you to write "one half note." One half note will be drawn into the space, as well as the number "2" to indicate the correct count.
