Quick Start Guide
Refer to the Instructions page to see which pieces are used for each game. Here are some suggestions for building your collection.
BASIC STARTER SET
For families or teachers who'd like to get a feel for the games. Good for small groups or one-on-one practice.
- A set of four monsters
- A small Grand Staff Mat
- Monster DASH Cards
With this you can play Monster Dash to practice intervals on the staff. A fun introductory game and something even non-musical parents can play.

BASIC STARTER SET PLUS (for teachers)
Teachers with up to 6 students playing at once should get:
- A set of six monsters
- A large Grand Staff Mat
- Monster DASH Cards
----- ✦ -----
For piano practice on the keyboard you can add: a Piano Mat. This allows you to play Monster Dash on the keyboard to practice intervals on the piano.

If instead of just monsters alone you get: Monsters & Minions and Dice, you can play the above games plus:
- Monster Herder for a more challenging way to practice intervals on the staff.
-
Monster Triple Threat to practice note recognition on the piano (or staff).

After that, you can get:

- Monster NOTE Cards to play Monster Match to practice note recognition across the Grand Staff.
... and then you'll have the Full Suite! :)
