How to Play Salamander Scales Major Scales Music Theory Game
The gameplay for Salamander Scales is simple but very fun.
Students collect cards to see who can get the major scale pattern first and race to claim the most spots on the board.
But there’s a slight catch – at the end, whoever has the longest salamander trail gets bonus points!
PLAY SALAMANDER SCALES IN GROUP PIANO LESSONS
You will get 8 different salamanders in the game download. There are only 9 spaces to claim, so it’s a pretty stiff competition with 8 players!
A few of the gameplay rules are different when you’re playing with 4-8 players than 1-3 players, but it is easy to adapt for group lessons.
Members have access to a bonus poster-sized game board option that you can bring to your local print shop and get a larger board for students to crowd around.
Salamander Scales is easily played with 2 students or 8.
