New Pre-reading Autumn and Halloween Sheets
Leaves Are Blowing and What Will I Be on Halloween are beginning pre-reading pieces for young piano beginners in my store. Click here to see Halloween Pre-reading in my store. Click here to see Autumn Pre-reading.
This set of pre-reading pieces not only help beginners learn the groups of two and three black keys, which of course, is essential if students are going to learn the names of piano keys, but they are also beginning composing pieces. In order to compose, students need to use their imagination and have a vision. I think it is safe to say composers get their start improvising and doodling around.
What I would like to see is students get carried away playing what they “will be” or how blowing leaves might be expressed on the piano. Sometimes teachers and parents get frustrated with students playing around on the piano and not practicing their assigned pieces. Â But as long as there is a balance, who knows what budding Beethoven we might be cultivating!
Don’t forget you can save ink by printing only one copy and saving it in a sheet protector. You can also download these into your iPad to save on printing.
You have posted on Facebook and emailed me such precious videos of your students improvising and having fun! I hope your students have fun with these!
Hi,Susan,

Thanks, that is so gratifying to hear. And tell your students I just love making piece for them and adding all the pictures!
Thank you for these 2 new pieces. The graphics are lovely.
Thank you very much, Ann! I did not draw the children in the Halloween piece. I just don’t have time to do it all anymore!
Thanks so much, Susan! Just what I was needing this week!
Glad to know that, Diane. I was kind of worried it was too late this year!
Lovely! Thank you again Susan for great little beginners’ pieces.
