Piano Keys–Dinosaur Love
Purpose:
Help beginner students learn the names of the piano keys.
How it Works:
Kids look at each keyboard diagram and identify the piano key. They then circle the letter name of the key.
Companion Active Learning Idea:
After completing the worksheet, take kids over to the real piano and have them practice identifying the names of the keys. Call out the name of a key and have the student find it and play it. I usually ask the student to find two more keys (same letter name, just in a different octave), and have them say the name out loud while they press down the key.
Valentines Fish Rhythms–Ear Training Valentines Worksheet
Purpose:
Ear Training–Rhythmic Dictation.
How it Works:
Give the student a copy of the worksheet and have her sit so that she can't see the piano. Tell her that you will play a 4 measure rhythm and she should listen and fill in the missing notes. Play the example twice, then check answers and give feedback as needed.
Companion Active Learning Idea:
If you are in a Valentines group lesson and have a student who can play in a steady rhythm, invite him up to play one of the examples. Help him think of a rhythm to play and remind him to play slowly, clearly and with a steady tempo. Kids love the chance to "be the teacher"!
Valentine's Day Rhythm Rocket
Purpose:
Review rhythm, time signatures and bar lines.
How it Works:
This free printable Valentine's worksheet has sooo much great rhythm practice! For the first line, kids write the counts beneath each note and rest. Line two is missing the bar lines, so kids draw those in. When they get to line three, kids complete the time signatures by writing in the top number. The worksheet lists the possible answers, and each time signature is only used once.
Companion Active Learning Idea:
After completing the worksheet, ask kids to clap or tap the rhythms while counting out loud.
New! Valentines Key Signatures Music Theory Worksheet for Sharp Key Signatures
Purpose:
Identifying key signatures for sharp keys.
How it Works:
Just print out a free copy for each student, give them a pencil, and let them get to work. Students look at each example and identify the key signature. They then write the name of the key signature inside the blue box. If you want to go more in depth with students who are more advanced, you can have them list the name of the minor key alongside the major key. But even if you just stick with identifying major key signatures, your students will get great practice.
Valentines Key Signatures Music Theory Worksheet
Purpose:
Identifying key signatures for flat keys.
How it Works:
This flat key signatures printable works the same way as the sharps printable featured above. Print out a copy for your students and then have them identify and write the name of each key signature. I always teach my students a little trick that makes identifying flat key signatures easier: circle the second to last flat. Now just identify the circled flat–that's the name of the key signature. Easy! Remind students that they will just have to memorize the key signature that only has one flat, which is the key of F.
V-Bot's Secret Valentine-Valentines Music Worksheet for Drawing Braces, Clefs and Bar Lines
Purpose:
Practice tracing and drawing braces, bass and treble clefs, and the double bar line.
How it Works:
I LOVE the way this worksheet turned out! I wanted a Valentine's activity that would be appealing to boys (and that girls would still like too!) and am so happy with how this one works. Basically, kids just trace the music symbol and then draw it on their own. Kids can also complete the activity to find out the name of V-Bot's secret valentine.
To discover the name of V-Bot's secret Valentine friend, kids just identify each symbol and circle the letter that matches. When they've completed the worksheet, kids just find the colored button at the bottom of the page that matches and copy the letter. Once they fill in the buttons, they'll have discovered the name of V-Bot's secret Valentine friend.
Valentines Note Name Worksheet
Purpose:
Practice the note names for treble and bass clef.
How it Works:
This activity is pretty straightforward. Kids just identify each note and write its name on the line below.
Companion Active Learning Idea:
Have your student come up to the piano to practice naming and playing the notes. Teacher points to a note on the page and student finds the key, plays it and says the note name out loud. For younger students, you might just do 5 notes. With your more advanced students, you can challenge them to see how far down the page they can get in 30 seconds.
Monster Valentine Rests
Purpose:
Practice tracing and drawing rests, reviewing rhythm and counts by adding rests to complete a measure.
How it Works:
Students first get to practice drawing rests. This is such a great exercise for kids, because many kids think rests are difficult to draw. Just give them lots of practice with activities like this one and before long they won't be intimidated. With this printable, kids first trace the rests and then they draw three of their own.
Next kids get to draw the rests in context to review rhythm. Music students will look at each measure and figure out how many beats are missing. They then draw in one rest that will complete the measure. This means they have to know the values of each rest–they can't just draw two quarter rests when two beats are missing because in order to complete the measure with only one rest, they would half to draw a half note. Don't miss this activity with any of your students who need practice with rhythm!
Valentines Day Music Intervals Worksheet
Purpose:
Practice identifying intervals by type and size.
How it Works:
To complete this assignment, students look at each set of notes and determine the interval size (ie 2, 5, 6). Then students also identify the type (augmented, perfect, diminished, major, minor). There are several different ways to write the interval classification, so you can teach students your preference. I personally don't mind if my students use abbreviations.
How do students get good at identifying intervals? Practice, practice, practice! So be sure to give them lots of activities like this one throughout the year, and before long they'll be lightening quick!
Sharps in a Scale-Valentines Music Worksheet for Major Scales
Purpose:
Analyze the major scale, review key signatures and add the missing sharps to a scale.
How it Works:
This printable helps kids analyze quite a few properties of a major scale. First kids are asked to look at the scale and identify it. For example, if they believe it is a C major scale, they would circle "C Major". Next kids are asked to think about key signatures and write down which notes should be sharped in this scale. Finally kids draw in the missing sharps and then mark the half steps with a slur.
Struck by Cupid's Arrow-Half Steps and Whole Steps Valentines Printable
Purpose:
Identifying half steps and whole steps.
How it Works:
Use this worksheet to help kids both recognize half steps and whole steps and also to learn figure out these intervals. The first question asks piano students to identify the distance between the two notes as a half step or whole step and write their answer. The second question asks kids to draw a note that is a whole step above the given note. The third line again asks kids to identify either a whole step or half step, and the fourth line has them draw a note that is a half step below the given note. Lots of great practice with half steps and whole steps so that your students will be pros! And when this concept is easy for your students, it serves as a building block for so many other theory concepts.
Robots: An Accidental Love Story
Purpose:
Practice tracing and drawing sharps and flats.
How it Works:
I have a few students who are just being introduced to sharps and flats and learning how to draw them. This printable lets us really hone their skills while having fun with the Valentine's theme. Students first practice tracing the sharps and flats, and you can point out to them that each symbol is centered on the line or space where the note is sitting.
Students then get to practice independently drawing sharps and flats next to notes, and you can help them remember to draw each symbol on the correct line or space. Finally, students get to trace "a whole bunch" of sharps or flats. Some students won't yet know that this is a key signature or the order of sharps/flats, but it's a great primer. When they're exposed to more advanced ideas frequently, they'll seem familiar when you are ready to tackle them.
Will You "Bee" My Valentine?
Purpose:
Understanding the major scale.
How it Works:
Do you have any students getting ready for theory exams? This worksheet will be a huge help, and make the practice fun. Kids first mark the half steps with a slur and then draw the tonic in the final measure. A great feature is that the worksheet includes a keyboard diagram for any kids who need help visualizing the half steps. They can color in each note of the scale on the keyboard and then easily pick out the half steps.
Music Valentine from the South Pole
Purpose:
Ear training–Rhythmic Dictation
How it Works:
Help kids improve their ear, which will in turn make them better musicians, better composers and make piano playing more fun! You can start with simple activities like this one. Just instruct your students that they will hear two measures and they will fill in the notes from the second measure. You'll want to start with simple rhythms, consisting of quarter notes, half notes or whole notes. Later on you can get trickier by adding rests, eighth notes and so on.
Love Birds-Beginner Key Signature Worksheet
Purpose:
Introducing key signatures, key signature practice for very young students.
How it Works:
This handout is for use with young students or students who are just being introduced to key signatures. We do a lot of theory in my piano studio, and as a result, the kids are progressing quickly and I have some students who are quite young who are being introduced to key signatures. This free printable Valentines music theory worksheet allows young kids to practice with just a couple of examples so they don't get overwhelmed. Kids just draw a line from the key signature to its letter name.
Super Valentine Scales
Purpose:
Understanding the construction of a major scale, adding the missing sharps or flats.
How it Works:
This free printable Valentine's Day worksheet helps kids understand how scales are formed and is also excellent practice for students preparing for theory exams. To be a scales superhero, kids need to figure out what sharps or flats they need to draw in to complete the major scale. This will be easiest for them if they will use the key signatures they've been learning. After drawing the sharps or flats, kids mark the half steps with a slur and then circle the tonic.
