Echo Games are a playful way to help pianists of any age improve their listening skills, rhythm, and ease their way into improvisation. The games can be played between teacher and student, between two students, or students can play alone with the included Mp3s. Each game includes a wild card phrase that the leader can throw in at any moment to keep the follower on their toes. Both leader and follower should memorize the wild card phrase before beginning the game. The follower is encouraged to play these games without looking at the music. Stacy Fahrion hopes these games will inspire students to improvise, compose, and have fun at the piano!
