Intended for musicians of all ages who have already received basic training, Geminito is a music educativ tool designed to be as useful as it is entertaining.
Halfway between the “Happy Families” card game and Dobble®, GEMINITO demands a lot with little:
The materials are simple and the rules quickly learned. But each player must exercise their reflexes in reading notes, harmonic analysis, and make the best use of their knowledge of musical terms.
The game can be played in any language.
The rulebook included in the box is translated into English, as well as the few cards necessary for understanding the game.
The box contains two sets of different levels: GEMINITO -Junior (26 flashcards) and GEMINITO : 42 flashcards
To practice recognizing and distinguishing:
• Notes (treble and bass clefs)
• Intervals (thirds, fifths)
• Three-note chords (major, minor, diminished, augmented)
• Ternary or binary rhythmic patterns
• Musical expressions, dynamic markings, ornaments, articulations, forms…
List of Categories
To play :
• Alone
• With two or more players
• In small teams
… as long as the cards on display remain clearly visible to everyone
GEMINITO can be played freely, but also under the guidance of a teacher as part of a music training course.
The Author
Musician (guitarist), teacher for over 30 years (at the CRR Poitiers – France), curious and playful, Sebastien Jean developed this game out of didactic considerations inspired by his students. Since he is also passionate about expanding their musical repertoire, he is the author of several collections of transcriptions for electric guitar or bass. https://sebjean.net
