‘Piano Practice Playtime’ | Practice POWER Cards!

Say goodbye to piano practice battles and hello to motivated students! The ‘Piano Playtime Challenge Cards’ turn piano practice into a game with a purpose, where every card is a fun new task and every point earned means real progress at the piano.

Instead of mindless repetition that leads to boredom and brainless practice (or no piano practice at all!), the pedagogically designed challenges on the piano practice cards turn piano practice into a game—making them happy to sit down at the piano and motivated to keep going. And better yet, it will provide even non-musical parents with the tools they need to support and encourage their child’s musical progress.

Piano practice doesn’t have to be ‘serious’ to be effective. In fact, creative, problem-solving thinking skills are an essential part of effective piano practice. What if we could teach clever, advanced practice skills…even to our youngest students, without making it feel too hard for them? Well, now you can—these clever Piano Playtime Cards take serious learning strategies, break them down, and turn them into ‘game’ challenges that are just right for elementary and early intermediate students.

Piano Playtime Practice Cards give you easy-to-implement, laser-focused practice tricks for both the standard piano teaching repertoire and current popular method books. But don’t be fooled, these challenges are not just fun and frivolous: Each challenge card draws on proven practice strategies trusted by piano educators around the world. Our Piano Practice Playtime cards are like that ‘spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down…’!

Turning piano practice into a (sneaky) game, with our tactical piano practice cards, keeps students engaged, motivated, and practicing longer—while still building memory, technique, musicality, and brain power. Fun and learning go hand in hand, so every practice challenge grows their skills without feeling like ‘hard work’.

Here’s how it works:

• Students take home a set of fun-to-do, challenging piano practice cards
• Each practice session, they draw a card and complete the challenges on it with the pieces they are learning. The challenges are brief and straightforward – students will be able to do several in each practice session
• Every finished card earns a point, which they can track each practice session. Over the weeks, they can keep track of their progress…without watching the clock.
• The more they play with this cleverly crafted practice tool, the more points—and progress—they achieve!
• TWO colourful, eye-catching graphic designs available, making it easy to cut through students’ practice resistance: Use the cute ‘Super Hero’ theme to entice your junior tough guys, and the pretty ‘Fairy Magic’ theme to captivate your piano princesses. Give students the design that will best motivate them! The easy-to-implement, ingenious practice challenges are identical in each set.

Why teachers LOVE the ‘Practice Power’ Cards:
