The Penny Piano Challenge: Can You Beat the 1-Cent Challenge?
Can you play a piano scale without touching one forbidden key? It sounds easy—but this 1-cent piano challenge is much harder than it looks!
Place a penny on any piano key, choose a scale, and try to play up and down without hitting the note under the penny. One wrong move and the challenge is over.

This challenge will test your:
• Concentration
• Scale fingering
• Hand control
• Musical creativity
• Ability to recover from mistakes
I’ll attempt the challenge with major, minor, and pentatonic scales before exploring some advanced variations. Try it with two octaves—or choose the note that causes the most awkward fingering!
YOUR CHALLENGE:
1. Pick a scale.
2. Place a penny on one key.
3. Play the scale without touching that key.
4. Comment with your scale and forbidden note.
5. Challenge another pianist to beat your attempt!
