The Penny Game
October 20th, 2009 by Andrew

The penny game really helps me practice.  If  I am struggling on with one of my lines in music, I can play the penny game.  I have three pennies on one side of the piano.  If I get the line right, I move one penny over to the other side.  Then if  I get  the line right again, you can get another penny on the other side.  If I  get it wrong, I  have to put all the pennies back on the first side.  The goal is to get all three pennies on the other side.  This helped me learn October Wind for Thursday night.

I agree with you, Andrew. The “Penny Game” is very helpful and effective. I think I’m going to have to use it on one of my pieces.

Great game Andrew!! I’ll totally have to try that. It will help me know how long to practice…until I get ALL of the pennies to the other side. Thanx for sharing!

I enjoy playing the Penny Game, because when I am done with the game, my songs always sound so much better than when I started. I have done recently with a duet Isabella and I are playing together; it really helped!
