What is important are the skills that these games develop and they are grouped in sections, according to a particular skill. Every age group can take part in, enjoy and benefit from the games - from primary school pupils to adults in institutions or workshops. With a huge range of possible applications the games can be used as they are given or may form the basis for further ideas developed by the teacher. Although not intended for formal music lessons, they can be used as an introduction for learning an instrument and will generate a lifetime of musical enjoyment and participation.
