“Teaching music theory, circle of fifths, notation and composition that engages the student to think creatively.” 

For those of you who value music theory and use it in your lessons with your students every day, it is essential they understand WHAT, HOW, and WHERE all of this material comes from and how it’s all intertwined and how you can utilize it all together. Being a composer, and loving music theory, I saw that these kids NEED to know music theory from scratch.

I have developed a game which allows exploration, creativity and imagination to happen in each new scale introduced in the major and minor scales.
