THE STORY BEHIND THE GAMES
About BandGames
A practice space made for developing band musicians.
BandGames was created with a simple goal: to give band students an easy-to-use place to practice the skills that help them become stronger, more confident musicians.
I originally built the site as a resource for my own band students. I wanted something they could quickly open on a Chromebook, phone, or computer and use to work on real band skills—things like note reading, rhythm, key signatures, transposition, fingerings, ear training, and music theory—without having to dig through tools designed for completely different kinds of musicians.
Everything on BandGames is built specifically with developing band musicians in mind. The games are meant to make practice more engaging while still reinforcing the same concepts students use every day in rehearsal.
What started as a collection of tools for my own classroom has grown into something I hope can be useful to band students and teachers anywhere. Whether you're learning your first notes or sharpening more advanced skills, BandGames is meant to be a simple, approachable place to learn, practice, and improve.
