Music Theory Games For Students

Here we take a look at the music theory games for students contained in various music software packages, and find music theory games to suit different ages and abilities

For the young, and young at heart, Music Ace 1 Music Making Software For Children and Music Ace 2 contain a range of music theory games which entertain and educate. Maestro Max teaches a range of music theory concepts from reading music notation through rhythm, scales and key signatures, ear training, and then tests you with plenty of music theory games. This software has provided hours of pleasure in our own house, with both our children learning about theory, interacting with the software to improve their listening skills and developing rhythmic co-ordination. Both products also come with a Doodle Pad - which is a really easy to use composition utility with drag and drop notes, and a choice of instruments. Children are soon creating their own sequences and tunes with this utility. Highly recommended - and GOOD NEWS!! Music Ace Deluxe - which combines Music Ace 1 and 2 into one deluxe package - is now also available to buy in the UK.
