What is a digital escape room?

A digital escape room is a fantastic way to cover music appreciation and theory in a fun, interactive way!  These are great for:

• Private lessons: With student or during lab/off-the-bench time time
• Group lessons: Work as a team to answer questions
• Online lessons: Any platform that allows you to share your screen works well for this

Students listen, watch, or read material then answer questions.  Answer the question correctly, you move on and get a clue.  Answer incorrectly and you are gently encouraged to try again.  Gather clues and use them to answer the final question.

ALL marking is done for the teacher so this truly is a download and use resource for your studio!
