So You Want to Be a Music Expert!

Test yourself against your classmates, friends, and family on these music-related questions and be on your way to becoming a music expert! Begin with Warmup Questions for the group to see who will be eligible to become a contestant and try for the big prize! These questions should be easy.

The winner of each question becomes a contestant. Each contestant will be asked one question from the categories of easy, medium-hard, and hard. One incorrect answer eliminates the contestant. Contestants can receive help from others for one question, if desired.

Small prizes may be given. These can be privileges, small favors, sweet treats, and so on. Students may research composers and make up questions to add to the game.
