A game and a method of playing a game are provided that teach the concepts necessary for a polished musical performance. In one embodiment, the game comprises a game board that provides a path of movement for a playing pawn controlled by each player. The path of movement comprises a plurality of areas or "stores", each store designating a different category of music theory. The game also comprises means for directing each player as to how to move their respective playing pawn along the path of movement and into each of the plurality of stores. An object of the game is to successfully move a playing pawn into each one of the series of stores and correctly answer music theory questions relevant to the category of music theory covered by that store. In case the player does not have adequate understanding of a particular music category designated by a store, a separate game is provided to further develop the player's understanding of the category. Each separate game is played differently and apart from the board game and with different playing pawns, rules, etc. According to this method, students can, at separate times, play the individual games to help develop proficiency in those areas.
