Family: Would Chopin Have Passed A Music Quiz?

Would Chopin Have Passed A Music Quiz?

Written by Brian Fong

Q. My children are very interested in playing music. Is there such a thing as a music quiz for kids?

A. Sure there's such a thing as a music quiz, and you can find one right inside of your head. Just reach up there, pull it out, and put it down on paper. I'm serious. Who knows where your children's musical interests lie better than you? Right -- no one; so instead of finding some pre-made music quiz, which may or may not challenge them at repparttar levels that you want them to be challenged, go ahead and write your own.

The key to writing you own music quiz is... "G". OK, just kidding. The key to writing your own music quiz is to come up with questions that will interest and challenge your children. Make repparttar 110174 quiz a mixture of technical, factual, and trivial (which is a lot like factual but with subjects that are more fun).

Let's suppose that your son plays repparttar 110175 guitar and your daughter plays repparttar 110176 flute. Yes, I know that I'm using stereotypes but it's just too hard to be politically correct when you're a simple Quizmaster.

A technical question for your son might be:

"What does 'playing harmonics' mean?"
