Last year I polished up and I posted some Thanksgiving worksheets that I had used over the years. I have so much material on my website that it is hard to find some of the older things, so I am reposting them today. You won’t need all of these, but you can pick and choose what intrests you. I plan to use some of them at my group lessons right before Thanksgiving.
Turkey NotesThis is a quick worksheet for beginners who are just learning the names of their notes. You can also use it to play games or to pass out at a group lesson. Be sure to print in landscape mode.
I was in a whimsical mood when I made this. (I’m usually in a whimsical mood. I don’t know when I’ll grow up!) If you have some younger students who are still learning their keys on the piano, they will enjoy this. You can also use it with your own young children and let them color the funny food.
This is another worksheet that you can use at group lessons or with your own children. Be sure and check out the black and white version if you want them to color the entire thing. This is also something you can give to children who are waiting for other siblings and have nothing to do.
It is real easy to set your PDF dialog box to 2 on a page and save some paper. Then you can use it for several weeks to see if your student’s time improves.
Usually Thanksgiving gets lost in piano lessons as we prepare for Christmas so I hope you enjoy the change of pace.
My students are loving these! Especially the funny food worksheet – a young student yesterday could not stop laughing about eating a blue turkey.
Just wondering why the Turkey Notes worksheet (the turkey is very cute, by the way!) doesn’t include B and D around middle C? Those seem to be the two most confused notes for my beginning students, they need all the reinforcement they can get on distinguishing one from the other!
I have no idea why I left those off. I usually make things for my own students and just post to share with others in case someone would like to use it. Probably my student knew those notes! If I revise it, I will include B and D.
I’m not sure why they aren’t opening for you. I checked them all out and I didn’t see any broken links. Maybe if you try it again it will work.
