Goofy Piano Card Game

I made this game because one day I was thinking how I could get some of my older students to realize that it’s not enough to know that a note is “G”, but you have to know which G it is on the keyboard. Maybe that is a failure of my teaching because we play so many duets with the students moving up or down on the keyboard that they think any “G” will do. And some of them are in band or orchestra where they don’t learn the piano keyboard. But at some point early in their career they have to know the real deal, so I came up with this game. While it won’t help them find the notes on the keyboard, it will help them to quickly identify the same note in different octaves. The one-minute club has helped a lot of my students with this, but I thought a game to play in group lessons would be fun.

This game is for older students in middle school or high school. It is too challenging for younger students because their hands are too small to hold the cards while they try to remember the note names. Try this at your next group meeting and have some fun!
