MelodieXpress - is it music poured into a game? ... or is it a game filled with music? It’s so hard to know!
Theme
At its heart MelodieXpress is a game about music. Actually it’s a whole lot of games about music. MelodieXpress uses a series of card games to teach the elements of music theory, and to teach the players the skills of sight-reading and composing music.
The pack includes playing cards based around music notation - notes, clefs, key signatures, and accidental notes - as the basis for games and activities. While the overall intention it to foster musical knowledge and skills, the focus within the games is upon fun and enjoyment.
Gameplay
The Note Reading pack is the first of the MelodieXpress sets. It includes 104 cards including the treble, alto and base clefs, and 52 crotchet notes - 4 cards for each of 13 notes.
