Music Composition Worksheets

If you're working on melodic contours, high and low, and direction, this may be for you!

Included are 16 printable cards you can reproduce, cut out, and issue to your students.

Play these melodies on a piano, clarinet, slide whistle, however you wish! Then, ask the students to place the card which they think best resembled the melody you played.
Although there are 16 cards, you can ask students to do 4 cards a time (by telling them which cards they are to us), play the melody, and then they can choose from the multiple choice answers you allotted to them.

The image files can be put into a powerpoint as well and you can us it as an answer key after you play the melodic example.

Have fun with this on your quest to discover melodious melodies

For use in your piano studio, here is an early version of the Piano Assignment Sheet that I used in student's lessons. On the sheet, there is space for vocabulary, a scale and a scale visual for students (small keyboard and fingerings). On the "playlist", you may put up to 5 items for students to work on between lessons. The N/M/R: New Piece, Memorized, Review. One of these would be circled so you and the student know the urgency in practice. The Plus, Minus, and Check are a small rating system for you to assess student preparation (on the next lesson). The practice log is for a student to show how much they practice, and on what day between their lessons. Should you want to make changes to the sheet, please e-mail me at zsmusiceducation@gmail.com, and I will customize the sheet for you, for $1!

This engaging, no-prep worksheet is designed to combine piano note identification with problem-solving skills. Ideal for piano and music theory students, the worksheet includes three different pages, each with a unique focus:

1. Three-Letter Word Riddles Page: Students solve riddles where the answers are three-letter words. To find the solution, they must identify the notes on the piano keys shown. Each key corresponds to a different note, and deciphering the notes will reveal the answer to the riddle.
2. Four-Letter Word Riddles Page: This section features riddles with four-letter word answers. Students will use their note recognition skills to identify the notes on the piano keyboard, which will help them solve each riddle and uncover the four-letter word answers.
3. Phrase Riddles Page: In this section, students tackle riddles that lead to musical phrases. They will identify the notes on the piano keys to determine the correct phrases, integrating their note identification skills with their understanding of musical terminology.

Features:

• Answer Key Included: An answer key is provided for all pages, allowing for quick verification and efficient feedback.
• Easy No-Prep Activity: This worksheet is ready to use with minimal preparation, making it perfect for classroom use or individual practice.

This worksheet offers a fun and interactive way for students to practice piano note recognition while solving riddles and uncovering musical answers.
