Musical Minute to Win It Intermediate Challenges

At piano group lesson week this fall I'll be reviving some of my Musical Min It to Win It Games from a previous post but also adding on a few new challenges for my intermediate students. 

Divide students into teams or have them compete individually. Tally points for each round. Each team that successfully completes the challenge in less than a minute earns a point. The first team to complete or to have the most correct answers earns a bonus point.

Interval Song Scattergories



Write down the name of a song that begins with each of the ascending intervals. Then add as many more songs as you can to the list before one minute is up.

Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th, Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Perfect Octave

Challenge Round  - Include songs for the minor intervals (minor 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th)

Music Wordy

Write as many words as you can in one minute using letters from the music alphabet.

Tempo Term Tally



Write down all of the tempo markings you know in order from slowest to fastest.

Articulation Bash



Write down all of the articulations marks you know. 

Scale Sleuth



Arrange the whole and half step cards to create a specific scale pattern (Major, harmonic minor, Natural minor, Jazzy, etc.)

Sharp Stacking

Stack scale blocks in the order of sharps, flats, or Circle of Fifths Keys.
