Abstract
A method for learning music scale theory includes utilizing a music theory-based card game. A plurality of cards forms a deck, each card representing a predetermined music note according to a 7-note system. One or more players are dealt cards to make a hand. Players draw cards from a draw deck or a discard pile, and discard cards to the discard pile, until a player creates a sequence of cards in the player's hand that corresponds to a complete musical scale or mode.

- providing a plurality of cards forming a deck, each card representing a predetermined music note according a 7-note system, wherein the deck of cards comprises a card for each sharp and flat of the seven notes, or interval, based on all possible scale degrees required to reach a unique scale sequence that completes a theoretically correct music scale or mode;
- dealing to each of a plurality of players seven cards from the deck to make a hand;
- using undealt cards from the deck to create a draw deck;
- creating a discard pile of at least one card;
- each player, in sequence, either drawing a card from the draw deck or the discard pile and discarding a card from the player's hand to the discard pile until a player creates a sequence of seven cards in the player's hand that corresponds to a complete musical scale or mode.
