Over the last several years I have made a collection of bookmarks in Photoshop and today I am posting some Halloween theme bookmarks. You might notice it is the same ghost I drew (not so well) for one of my Halloween piano songs. I really love pretending I’m a graphic artist…
There are several ways you can use these. If you are looking for students, pass these out when children come to your door for Trick or Treat. Put your name and phone number or email on the back. This might be a good way to let neighborhood children know you teach piano. Be sure and give them candy with the bookmark or they will never come back! You can also print these out to give to your students next week with some candy wrapped up with an orange curling ribbon.
Print them on card stock and be sure and laminate them. Otherwise the ink-jet color will run and ruin them. D’net, who has a wonderful piano site that in in my links, has suggested to use mailing tape to laminate. I have some Scotch Tear-By-Hand tape that I get at the grocery store and it is the perfect size for these book marks. Or you can use my suggestion of the clear book covers that I buy at Wal Mart. Also, if you are in Texas and near a Mardels, they laminate using the real stuff for a very reasonable price. I find it way to expensive to go to a printer and have things laminated.
In the pipeline and coming after Halloween at Susan’s Piano Teaching Resources are some Thanksgiving and Christmas piano songs at a very easy level, an extension to the flash cards, and some Christmas book marks. I am also going to finish posting my favorite piano sheet music solos and review some piano books.
Thanks for taking my poll. BTW, there is no way I can track who responds to the poll, so don’t be afraid I’ll track you down!

What a great idea to hand them out to trick-or-treaters. I think I will try that and put my website on the back! How do I make a whole sheet of the “little ghosties love piano”? My students may like the “I love piano” one, but to hand out to random children I’m not sure they would want to be told they love piano… LOL.
I had forgotten all about those bookmarks! I don’t have an individual version, but it sounds like a good idea!
