Make learning treble clef notes FUN with this interactive music game! Designed to look like a fidget/pop toy, students compete against one another to name the notes on the treble clef and rack up points. This activity is no-prep and ready to go!
This product contains 2 versions of the game - one with just the 9 notes on the treble stave (EFGABCDEF) and one which also includes some ledger line notes. This allows you to return to the activity later on in the year with the more difficult version, or to differentiate your lesson by having some students using each version depending on their ability.
Each version contains 28 questions, all with colourful, engaging designs.
Your pupils will be able to work independently as the answers are included in the game. It can be used with teams or single players to fit your class requirements.
This product could also be used by piano teachers or other instrumental tutors looking for a fresh way to revise note names.
The game is easy to follow and instructions are included.
Please note: this is a PowerPoint file and you must have PowerPoint installed to run it. The game will not function correctly on Google Slides or other alternative software. This resource works really well on touchscreens/interactive whiteboards but is just as much fun on laptops/netbooks/PCs.

I originally arranged this piece to be a fun technique exercise for my vocal group to work on after concert season – but it proved to be such a hit we included it in the next show!
This is a short, snappy arrangement of the Scott Joplin favourite, Maple Leaf Rag. What it lacks in length (around 30 seconds!) it more than makes up for with content – your choir will work on their pitch, chromatic intervals, syncopation, dynamic contrast and more! If your choir find the soprano 1 part too difficult, it could be played on an instrument with the choir providing the accompaniment through the other parts. Once the choir knows it well, it can be used as a really fun warm-up exercise too!
