A trivia-style game to review musical concepts in a fun way: rhythm, notation, listening, instruments, music history and theory. Ideal for class or for practising at home, alone or in pairs.
How to play
The game follows the classic Trivia mechanic. Spinning the wheel picks a question from one of the six sections. To complete the game you must answer three questions correctly in each section.
In 1-player mode a score is given for correct answers and the time taken — you can compete against your own record. In 2-player mode the winner is whoever completes all the sections first.
Trivia contents Beginner 2
Review this before playing: what you need to know for each of the 6 sections.
Notes
A sequence of six notes appears on the staff (C–A hexachord, treble clef). You have to tap the matching notes on the keyboard, in order.
Rhythm
A four-beat rhythm made of these three notes is played. You have to tap the buttons in the same order in which they sound.
Listening
A four-note melody is played (the same notes as in the Notes section) and you have to choose, out of three patterns, the one that draws that melody. Only the last note changes between the three options. A real question, similar to the ones you will get:
Theory
The 10 symbols that can appear in the questions. All duration questions refer to a 2/4 bar.
Musical instruments
You have to recognise the instrument in the picture or classify it into its family.
Strings
Wind
Percussion
History of music
You have to recognise the composer by the portrait, say which century they lived in, or identify who wrote the piece that plays during the question.
J. Sebastian Bach
Brandenburg Concertos
Antonio Vivaldi
The Four Seasons
W. Amadeus Mozart
Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Ludwig van Beethoven
Ode to Joy
P. I. Tchaikovsky
Swan Lake
Igor Stravinsky
The Rite of Spring
