Happy Halloween: Review

“Thanks, Rosemarie! I have to tell you, I just used the first Halloween escape room in an online lesson with two of my sibling students…yesterday and we had the BEST time.
First, they thought it was cool to hear the “spooky” classical music. They recognized a few of the pieces and liked learning a little history about them.
But the best part was the “Just Dance” YouTube video. I told them they had to pick a character and dance and they said “fine but you do too!” so we each picked one of the characters and danced over Zoom. We were all laughing so hard that their mom came in to see what was going on. I wasn’t banking on that section being “educational,” but then I saw your [last] question … and thought it was brilliant!  [My students totally got it] and I was like, YES!” ~ Selena (Notable Music Education)

Selena surprised me with the above honest testimonial a few days after purchasing the “Happy Halloween” digital escape rooms.

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!
