Beat Bay

MusicTempo and DynamicsGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice tempo terms (how fast) and dynamics terms (how loud), matching words like Allegro or mf to the correct position on a fader.

How to play

Players slide the fader with the arrow keys to the notch matching the word, then press Enter to launch, with Tab switching to another ship; letting three ships stall ends the mission, and a wrong notch shows the correct answer.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which music words are in play (all 12, tempo only, dynamics only, or just the extremes), whether dynamics are shown as fader labels or hidden to just soft/loud ends, whether the answer is shown on a miss, and the speed; the end screen offers a printable list of words with their meanings to practice.
