Musicianship games and activities

This resource includes a selection of games and activities – some sillier than others – that are designed to improve ensemble, musicianship or listening skills. We all know how easy it can be for students to forget about these aspects of music making in favour of ‘getting the notes right’ or improving technical ability, and how easy it can be to get to Grade 8 without actually being very good at listening or playing musically with others. The music classroom can be a great place to try to address these issues.
