Today, we can finally help you with the easy way to include music games in lessons!

Playing music games more in your studio is a great goal, but it can be hard to execute.

It can take up to hours to find that perfect music game–and then you still have to learn it and teach it to your students.

Today, Music Game Club monthly membership officially launches and we take away the searching for music games and puzzling over instructions for you!

How does Music Game Club make it easy to include music games in lessons?

We have eleven ways that make it easy to include music games in lessons.

1) You don’t have to wade through the thousands of music games out there

We know it takes time you don’t have to search and find music games that your students will love, so we take that step for you.

Every month, we email you a new music game that is tested in our music studios so we know your students will love them as well!

2) Video tutorials make learning new games easy

Another time-consuming part of new music games is learning how to play them.

Written instructions can be so confusing!

 While we try our best to write clear instructions, we give you one better: a video tutorial gameplay walkthrough.

You’ll see how the game is set up, how the cards are organized, and have a complete walkthrough of the entire game.

Here’s our first video tutorial so you can see exactly what we mean!

3) We send you a full package with incentives & activity sheets

Not only will you get beautifully designed music games that your students will love, we also include a colorful, themed “success poster.” 

Your students will be motivated to beat the game so they can take a picture with the poster! 

This also gives you something tangible to text the parents so they can see their child is learning and advancing.

Added to that, members will also receive an activity sheet for each game that will reiterate the music theory concept taught or reviewed in the game.

4) We check in each week with our Music Game Club members

In addition to getting the music game, video tutorial, success poster, and activity chart, you’ll be added to our members-only email list where we’ll share bonus gameplay ideas and more each month.

For a limited time, we’re also opening up our Facebook group for all members (in the future, this will be a separate paid tier), so teachers can mutually benefit from what everyone else shares and suggests.

Our goal is to not just send you music games, but to help you succeed with all the tools you need in your music studio.

5) Games are digital so can be stored easily and used forever

Once you get the music game, it’s yours to keep, download on your computer, and print as often as you need for your private, single-teacher studio (if you have a multi-teacher studio, contact us for a multi-teacher license).

There are some disclaimers here. Like, please don’t email or print the music game to give to a teacher friend (instead, send them to sign up for themselves). 

Our artists and designers have worked hard to create beautiful Music Game Club games, and we want to respect that–as well as keep food on their tables (definitely don’t want to add to the “starving artist” cliché!).

6) We create in letter and A4 sizing so anyone in the world can happily print properly

We want to do our part to make music games as accessible as possible worldwide!

So your printer (and you!) will be happy to print-and-go with our music games, regardless of where you live.

7) We keep our music games short – 5 minutes or less – so you can plan for music theory game time every week

We know time is the most precious commodity and that it’s hard to find time to play a long, drawn-out music theory game each week.

So we keep our music games succinct to fit into those 5-minute times in the lesson that need a little filler.

8) Our music games are appropriate for all levels (beginner to intermediate)

In fact, we take it a step further and not only can you play our music games for different level students, a lot of the time, you can play multi-levels together.

We go a little more into this in our post, How to Play Music Games With All Students & Levels.

9) Our music games can be played solo, opponent-style (2 people), or team style games (perfect for music classes)

We test our music games for all settings because we know that your teaching style is diverse and multi-faceted.

We also know you want to get the most out of your investment.

So we’ve got you covered. 

When you get a Music Game Club game, it will fit any of your studio needs.

Whether you’re guiding a student to play alone, you’re doing some student-teacher competition, student-student competition, or you have a handful of students in a group.

10) Our music games help you teach harder concepts  – the kind that might trip you up just trying to explain verbally or by a lesson in a workbook

Our music games are thought through from a pedagogical perspective as well as just our plain-ol’ game-loving hearts.

We merge gameplay and pedagogical concepts into each music game and aren’t scared to tackle some of the more tricky music theory concepts.

We believe that by gamifying music theory, it will help students better grasp hard concepts and have a positive experience.

11) We help you bring laughter, more knowledge and retention of music theory concepts, and engagement to your lessons by playing games

We saved the best for last: your students will thrive as they play music games.

They’ll love the colorful designs and will hopefully share tons of laughter as you play together.

What’s even better is that your students will start anticipating the new monthly game.

They might just start begging you to play games each week (what student asks for a theory worksheet each week? We see this as a huge win!).

Remember that a happy student helps with student retention.
