Summary: Private Music Teacher Loves This Book
Review: I am a Piano teacher with a large studio, a home-school Mom, and an active volunteer. I have been using this book for more than 3 years and hardly a week goes by that I don't use something from it. I have played these games with groups of 2 or 3 students and with as many as 25. The game are easy to learn, fun to play, and teach the topics well. The graphics are charming and I have used them often to create other music based games. Last year I taught a class to my Music Guild on teaching aids and this was #1 on my "must buy list". The Big Book of Music Games is worth its weight in gold>

Summary: Great For Homeschool Moms
Review: This book is great for homeschool moms because the games can be played with as few as two children and most can be adapted to be played with the whole family. The book is fully reproducible and my kids love to color the game pieces.

The book teaches the Music Alphabet, Music Syllables (Do, Re, Me, etc.), Notes, Rests, and Reading Rhythms, Symbols, Reading the notes on the staff, Musical Instruments and Famous Composers all through a game format. The games are similar to Lotto, Fish, War, Board Games and Memory games, etc. The Rules are easy to follow and I copy them and include them in a Ziploc type bag with all the game parts so the kids can play without looking the rules up.

It's a great resource for any teacher, homeschool mom or not!

Review: This book was not what I expected, but it still has many uses. I am a music teacher and was hoping for large-group games I could use with my K-3 classes. This book is fully reproducible and has some good ideas, but most games are more of the board-game type and can only use a couple players
