Our music room has transformed into another world! And in this world, the skill of naming notes on the treble clef staff is a life-or-death necessity. (For us, it has to do with an ancient building with a magic xylophone which, when played, calls out musical monkeys singing horribly at high volumes to chase students whose only hope is rapid note-naming…but whatever works…)
“Tempo Run” is a game using a
PowerPoint show projected on a screen.
Students typically participate one at a time, attempting to name the
notes on the staff quickly as they flash up on the screen. Fast-paced drum-heavy music plays as students
play through five levels with increasing difficulty.
When a student beats a level
(naming all notes correctly), his or her name goes on the victory wall for that
level – bragging rights abound! Students
have quickly taken to the game and are eager for more. Note naming is fun!
