I really hope you find this product useful! I have used these successfully with my classes for years and they are so convenient for leaving when I am absent.
Refresh your music classroom games with this bundle, containing over 20 different games in 5 products including my top selling “Spot It, Match It” cards! Ideal for middle school but will work with all ages - I’ve used them from age 4-18 in different ways so if, like me, you teach across all stages this will be invaluable!
These can be used for fast finishers, individuals, small groups, whole class, exit tickets, revision, cover/supply, you name it! The games cover basic theory, instrument names, aural skills and more.
I use all of these games regularly and keep sets printed in my class at all times. Some of them are used within my curriculum and others are just for fun.
I really hope you enjoy using these with your classes - be sure to leave a review if you do, and check out the other products in my store!
Do you need a long-term Music Theory curriculum to suit your middle school students? This bundle contains SIX music theory books designed to cover music theory week by week.
Do you need music workbooks that are not babyish? Are your older learners put off by cute clipart and exercises counting animals?

Each workbook also contains space for students to make notes, and a self-reflection task for them to evaluate their progress, ideal for your tracking and reporting each semester. 2 versions of each booklet are included, one with USA terms (staff, whole note, measure etc) and one with UK terms (stave, semibreve, bar etc).
The printable workbooks are in PDF format. Each is 14 pages long. Every topic has clear explanations and two written tasks for your students to complete. These booklets are versatile and can be used in class, as homework, with whole classes or even by individual piano teachers or instrumental teachers on a one-to-one basis. They designed to be worked through in order, spending a little time each lesson on theory over an extended period of time, supplementing your usual curriculum.
I have used this series for years with my own students, usually from age 8-16, but the clear layout makes it suitable for any age. I have also used it with adult beginner piano pupils, who did not want to work from materials aimed at children. Please let me know how you use it!
