Top 3 Music Games for Your Online Group Classes

If your online group classes to teach music are slowly getting somewhat boring, and you’re worried about holding your students’ attention, you could try using online games. There are several music games and tools that can add some welcome variety to your online group classes and help shake things up a little bit. Sounds interesting? Here are our top three picks:

1. Music Memory

This music memory game is about pitch recognition. Using it in your online group classes will help train your students in remembering the solfege pitches. When you start the game, it’ll play a pitch. The students must listen to it, guess it, and then replay by pressing the correct buttons on the screen that will display a selection of notes using the Solfa scale of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti. Then, the game will tell if you are right or wrong before it moves onto the next pitch. You won’t need to be perfect pitch to play Music Memory. But it’ll surely instill pitch relationships into your ear. As a music teacher, you can post a high score in your online classroom and invite your students to beat it. This challenge is likely to make even the most reluctant of your students to participate and have some fun while improving their aural perception.

2. Audiotool
