Scale Lottery – A Way to Gamify Scale Practice

For piano exams, students will often have a long list of scales and arpeggios that they need to review. I try to inject a little fun and gamification into this using popsicle sticks.

Piano Scale lottery for randomising piano scale practice

I created this bag for one of my grade 3 students, simply by writing all the possible scales on lollipop sticks and using a fun gift bag I had to contain them. So whenever she’s practicing she can just reach in and draw out a few at random.Scale lottery

This makes scale practise easy, fun and more efficient! Win, win, win!
