Hello!
Valerie here from The Happy Violinist.
As a music teacher for quite some time, I realise that reading music notes can be a struggle for music students, especially beginners.
It can be such a struggle that there are students who tell me they hate to read notes, some says music is so boring, and some even give up playing music because of note reading.
I feel it's quite a pity.
That is also the reason why we created The Happy Music Card Game.

Reading music, is just like learning a new language.
For example, you want to learn Japanese. 日本語の話し方 🇯🇵🇯🇵
All the characters looks weird.
You can't read. You can only read the 'hanyu pinyin', or the english translation
If I were to teach you by forcing you to memorise word by word, write out the characters 100x on paper, read out loud the characters 100x a day so the sounds enter your brain...
Do you think you will quit learning Japanese?
I'm certain you will quit after 1st lesson!
Who likes learning this way?
But...
What if I bring you to Japan, I show you around and teach you how to say each thing in Japanese?
Or maybe a small challenge, that after learning a few phrases, and if you can order food in a Japanese 7-11 outlet in only Japanese, then I will buy you a たまご焼き (Tamagoyaki/ Japanese Egg Roll).

Would you be interested to learn Japanese more?
Of course!
Definitely more fun and more motivating right?
That's the reason why we created The Happy Music Card Game.
So students can learn music notes and 'memorise naturally'. When you play games, you are already memorising without anyone forcing you.
When students play, they are thinking about having fun! They are not thinking about 'why do I have to learn this'. Instead, they will think 'how can I learn this faster so I can win the game'. An instant shift in mindset.
And lastly, everybody love games! And if they win, they will be even more motivated to play and seek more challenges. (That's how kids are addicted to mobile games).
I don't wish to make your child addicted to my happy card game... but what if they play the cards everyday with parents, siblings or friends, and seeing music notes everyday outside of music lessons, won't their music note reading improve? Can they read notes faster?
Very likely a yes!
So that's what motivated me and my partner to create this card game.
There's many other ways you can play the card too. Click the link below to explore further :)
