To run each game, click on the game box in the arcade screen.

Overview of Music Games

Music Quiz

Test your musical knowledge with a wide variety of questions— many from the topics covered in the piano lessons and music appreciation sections of Teach Me Piano Deluxe. One or two players can score points based on whether the questions are answered correctly and how long it takes to answer.

Rhythm Master

Test your ability to recognize rhythm notation by listening to a rhythm pattern and then decide which of the three examples matches what you hear. One or two people can play at once, and there are three levels of expertise.

Note Blaster

Test your music reading skills. An animated note lands at a random place on the bar lines. If you click the correct note on your MIDI keyboard, or on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen, the note on the screen is “Blasted” away!
