Copy Cat (Copying Notes Onto The Staff)

Copy Cat is a beginner-friendly Boom Deck game designed to help students recognize and copy notes on the staff. By matching the “cat notes” with the notes on the card in the upper right hand corner, and placing them on the staff, students can quickly identify patterns and improve their note-reading skills in a fun, straightforward way.

As a teaching tool for composition, this game offers a great way to assess what students understand—whether it’s recognizing lines and spaces, or spacing between notes. It’s an excellent way to build a foundation for understanding the staff without needing to identify the notes by name.

You can also extend the learning by encouraging students to play the patterns on the piano, starting from any note. With intervals ranging from unisons to thirds, the patterns are simple to read and play, making this Boom Deck a perfect starting point for note recognition and musical exploration.
