They all gave me a weird look when I said I play music games in my piano lessons. But then they saw my students!
What if your piano students didn't sigh and groan at the mention of music theory?
Hi! I'm Georgina, a piano teacher in a small village in the English countryside.
​
I've been teaching for just under 15 years with Greenside Music.
I've shared my music games with teachers and their students around the world since 2016 (the first product I sold was a Music Olympics to coincide with the 2016 Olympics!)​
"All of Georgina's games are well thought out and super kid friendly. A couple of minutes at the end of each lesson to target a weak area is all we need and these games are perfect for that"

Do you love teaching the piano?
​
Do you love seeing your students smile when they play something they're proud of?
​
Do you love it when they get excited about learning something new?
​
But do you sometimes find it hard?
Music lessons are in a fight for attention against so many things.
​
Thanks to things like YouTube, TikTok, and video games, kids these days are used to things that are fast-paced and provide instant gratification.
​
​Trying to keep a wiggly 7-year-old focused for a 30-minute piano lesson can feel like an uphill battle
That's where BusyLittleTurtle music resources come in.
Stop your students' eyes from drifting to the clock.
You want your students to
🎵 Practice their note-reading skills
🎵 Feel confident with rhythms
🎵 Understand time signatures
​
But your students want to skip the hard work and just play their favourite Taylor Swift song or a piece that'll sound cool
and impress their friends.
Music games help you to
🎶 Reinforce music theory through fun repetition
​
🎶 Test your students' knowledge and establish any gaps in their understanding
​
🎶 Provide your students with hands-on and interactive theory activities
"I love all your resources. I wish I could buy one of everything!"

Why you and your students will love these resources:
There are always two goals in BLT games: 1. To reinforce music knowledge
2. To win/solve a puzzle.
​
Your students will want to play because it’s fun, not just because you told them to.
​
Students who associate music education with enjoyment are more likely to put in more effort (and practice!)
Each game focuses on a specific skill or concept.
You’ll know which game to choose to help students boost their knowledge in certain areas.
Your students will understand what they’re working on.
Students immediately know if they’re getting things right or wrong (but in a lower-pressure situation than sitting at the piano staring at their music)
