Make piano scales EASY to learn, and FUN to master, with our comprehensive ‘Scales Shakedown’ Bingo Games. DEVELOP your students’ scales DRILL into something stimulating and engaging. This bundle of UNIQUE scales game boards includes SIXTY-SIX quirky CHALLENGES!
Great for all ages and stages – Elementary, Intermediate and even Advanced levels.
Features:
- ALL Major & Minor keys – Including THREE types of minor scales: Harmonic, Melodic & Natural minor.
- THREE different gaming levels – Take students from the easy, to intermediate, to advanced scales, with lots of ‘finger twisting’ fun!
- ‘Easy’ – Level 1: Challenges are mostly hand separately, allowing students to master the note patterns and fingerings before moving on.
- ‘Early Intermediate’ – Level 2: Challenges now include plenty of work for hands together and in contrary motion, for developing pianists.
- ‘Late Intermediate to Advanced’ – Level 3: Now the challenge level is increased to include lots of quirky tricks and twists. A great way to keep your more advanced students engaged with their technical work!
- The ‘Shakedown Games’ combine easily with the ‘Scales Detective Pictorial Worksheets’. This makes piano scale patterns and their unique fingerings more MEMORABLE and engaging. What better way for kids to learn scales, than to colour-code the note & finger patterns for themselves?!
- Each game set includes a unique, colourful Leader Board, allowing you to easily run a studio-wide ‘Scales Challenge Comp’. Build MOTIVATION levels to encourage all your students to achieve their personal best. (This could work well for a summer ‘piano camp’ too!)
- Help students take responsibility for their own learning, by letting them track their own progress. ‘Personal Best Charts’ are ALSO included with every single set.
Why is scales mastery so important? Well, it leads to improved technique and fluency on piano, a good tactile memory of the ‘keyboard geography’ of each key, and a better understanding of the building blocks of music theory. The ‘Scales Shakedown’ Bingo Games give you a BIG bundle of practice tricks and strategies, to get students happily drilling and mastering their piano scales.
Take a look through all three levels:
Elementary – Intermediate – Advanced
