I have a few students who need some pre-reading Christmas music, so here is Jingle Bells. I want to put each pre-reading sheet in a binder for my students to keep them all together as I pass them out each week. One year I made a student an early level Christmas book with her name on the cover. I had it made into spiral book just for her, but that can get expensive if you have it made at an office supply store. I found that Staples has the best prices for that.
I drew the bells myself, so it’s not clip art. You will see mistakes if you look at it too closely, but I notice that art looks a lot better when you shrink it down.
Depending on their age, your student might try to put 8th notes in measure 6 and 14. I suggest you Just go ahead and let them do it. I have some very young beginners so I notated this in quarter notes because they are comfortable with them. And I think 8th notes look odd in pre-reading. Also, I really debated if I should put this in middle C position, and I finally did. I think more teachers prefer it that way.
Tomorrow I hope to post another Turkey worksheet, this one in color.
