What makes monsters scared on Halloween night? The answer might surprise you…it’s kids! Students will love the funny twist on this Halloween piece, especially when carefully placed staccatos give them the chance to make the music mimic the words “It’s scary!” throughout the main theme.
There is a “loco” section that students who love playing fast will enjoy, and shifting registers will make elementary learners sound more advanced than they are.
What Level is Leave the Monster Scene to Us?
Leave the Monster Scene to Us is elementary level. The smallest note value is a quarter note. The piece is written in Dorian mode, but there is no key signature written in, instead using accidentals throughout. There are helpful notes written in the notehead of ledger line notes that may be tricky for elementary students.
Leave the Monster Scene to Us is wonderful practice for students learning about playing the entire arc of a piece. It starts out quiet, builds gradually to a forte, and then comes back down, giving students an opportunity to play with a full range of dynamics. There are many staccatos and phrasings that allow students to practice making the music mimic the lyrics.
There is no pedaling in Leave the Monster Scene to Us, and the piece stays in one hand position. There is shifting up to different registers, but playing patterns students are already comfortable with.

Emily –
Such a cute fun song with a nice twist in the lyrics about the monsters being scared of the humans. The repetition makes it pretty easy to teach by rote or reading for lots of different kids. Another spooky hit from Wendy!
