One never knows what they will find when linking around on-line. This week’s exciting find is the Theta Music Trainer website, which features a nice collection of fun and engaging music games. I just got done with a round of Paddle Pitch and am happy to report that I passed level one. 
By signing up for a free account you can track your training and progress, and access many of the games. Paid subscriptions look very reasonable, with special discounts available for music teachers. There is even a 30-day basic ear training course that walks the participant through a specific “workout” that is designed to take 15-20 minutes each day. This appears to be a fairly new site with lots of games and resources in the works. I look forward to keeping up with it and sharing it with my students!
Natalie, I did an extended review of this site here: http://thomasjwestmusic.com/thetamusictrainer.htm
Steve Myers and the folks behind the scenes at Theta Music have a lot more great stuff planned, including more online rhythm and sight-singing games. I’ll be following their developments on my blog.
The free version of the site only gives you the beginner levels of each game (1-3). Their pricing schedule is set up for private music teachers, and on suggestions from me, they will soon have a pricing structure for public schools as well.
Thanks for all the additional info, Thomas! That’s really helpful!
Wow! This is good!
I’m looking forward to having more time to check it all out!
