Fun Piano Games

Piano teachers and parents who teach their children to play piano often use games to help their students learn more effectively. Piano games are fun and engaging while teaching the basics of reading piano notation and technique as well. Incorporating games into your child's piano lessons might be the ideal way to keep their interest and build the musical foundation necessary to develop solid piano skills.
  1. Note Bingo

    • Note Bingo is played just like traditional Bingo. Notes are placed on a bingo card, which can easily be made from notebook paper and the instructor calls out the names of the note. The student then identifies the notes on the Bingo card. This game is ideal for teaching sight reading and note recognition skills.

    Secret Message

    • Enhance note recognition by creating a secret message using musical notes. Students then decipher the code by identifying the notes on the musical staff and transposing them to their corresponding alphabet letters.

    Piano Board Games

    • Piano board games teach not only note reading skills, but the fundamentals of playing. Board games include rolling dice, drawing cards and moving markers while incorporating musical elements into the mix, which can bring endless fun and musical education together at the same time.
