Printed on quality 150-190gsm paper with gloss finish, this game uses the original Snakes & Ladders game concept & applies it to the context of learning piano. This game is designed to be played from Lesson One & to be played each week in the lesson, & at home, until the concepts are consolidated. I usually find that it only takes a few weeks for students to be very happily confident with this game. Then I move on to the 5 finger scales game to continue the work of reinforcing keyboard geography & creating a nice hand shape.

In this game I’m working on teaching & consolidating (from Lesson 1):

# Left & Right

# High & Low, Soft & Loud

# Finger numbers

# Black key groups

# C D E F G in various pitch registers

# Middle C

Play with 1 dice during a lesson. Since the format has now been updated with larger text boxes you’ll easily finish the game in a few minutes. Don’t forget that part of the value of these games is the ability for the teacher to model & motivate. The games are designed to be quick, fun, highly focused moments for children who are learning piano. Since the tasks are really easy, it’s usually the case that I can co-opt the child to ‘teach mummy & daddy’ how to play the game at home during the week. When that happens I know that the aim has been met.
