Description
Animal Alphabet Songs are a set of seven one-page mini-songs with duets written to introduce beginners to the notes on the staff. If you teach young children, you know how difficult it can be to introduce notes on the staff. These Animal Alphabet Songs give you an easy way to introduce seven notes around middle C in a slow and methodical method. Each song, from A below middle C to G above middle C feature only one note with appealing teacher duets to make the music more interesting. (Pat the Cat does not include a duet so that the teacher can perform the motions with the student.)Â
Use these for learning a note a week!
The engaging words and child-friendly art make these perfect to introduce notes or reinforce notes for your elementary students. They can be used after pre-reading or by teachers who skip pre-reading and go directly to notes on the staff. These songs include notes that students may have not learned yet. I suggest you teach unknown notes by rote or simply by playing “stepping” fingers and do not worry about naming the unknown notes. Concentrate on learning to identify only the featured note on the staff. Not thinking the name of each note will help students to think beyond “typing” notes and will help them play musically.
Use the printable Animal Alphabet keys [sold separately • click here] to cover the featured note everywhere it is found on the keyboard.

Juli Holgerson –
This is my first year of using this set and so far it has been a big hit with my early reading students. At first glance, beginning students think they will just fly through these until they are faced with 1 or a few notes that are different from the main note but because there are so few different notes, they persevere. The duet accompaniments and graphics are lots of fun. Thank you Susan!

I used these alphabet songs with an adult autistic student. He is able to read notes in C position fairly well with a lot of review. I downloaded these because I thought they would be fun and positive reinforcement of the notes he has already learned. We had so much fun with these! We counted how many of each note were in each song. ( If you work with autistic students you know how much they like numbers.) We sang (badly) and talked about the animals represented by the letters. He loved them all and asked to play them over and over. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources.

I teach lots of young students, and they all love these. Students love playing and singing the songs, and the games are perfect for my private and group lessons. Very cute!
