About the store
I didn't start teaching with games. In fact, I barely knew that concept existed. Instead, I focused on the method book, exam preparation, and flashcards in my lessons. But then I was introduced to the wonderful world of music games! My teaching style and philosophy completely shifted as I began to embrace this fun style of lessons, one I hadn't really experienced as a child. Now that I've been teaching for ten years, I've gotten to see first-hand how much games and creative resources have impacted my students' learning and my own enjoyment of teaching. Adding new games to my collection is a constant source of fresh inspiration and fun! Since I also enjoy dabbling in graphic design, I decided to combine the two and begin making my own music games. I hope you'll find as much enjoyment in them as I do!
