A very famous quote about music comes from Shakespeare. If music be the food of love, play on. And play on we did. Love songs are undoubtedly the most popular songs around. Singing along to our favorite tunes is good for the soul. Especially if done uninhibited and loud. Although it’s probably an idea to make sure no-one else is around. You know, just in case your pitch is too flat or too sharp, or just plain off.
When it comes to music review, singalong sessions won’t give you top grades in your tests and exams. You need to know all the other stuff too. Chords, cycles, soundscapes, concertos, overtures, key signatures – all that jazz.
To help you get the best grades, we took high school music requirements, put them into two ginormous maracas, then did a rain-dance. Luckily it’s not available on YouTube. We got totally drenched but after drying off, we opened the maracas and out popped easy-to-play quizzes. They cover the essentials and are more fun than you can shake a stick at. Or a baton, for that matter.

We can’t say fairer than that. Are you ready to get into the groove and play some quizzes? Let’s dance!
