How can you use these music staff and piano keyboard PDFs?

First, print these staff and keyboard PDFs on 8.5 x 11 paper. Then, laminate them to make the last a long time. Then, find some kid-friendly manipulatives like:

  • Hersheys Kisses
  • Japanese Erasers
  • Tiddlywinks
  • Pennies
  • Dove chocolates (if you really want to treat your students).
  • Magnets (not that they will stay on)

Here are some concepts you can teach and how to teach them either in private lessons or group music lessons:

  • Keyboard Note Names – Say a note out loud and have them put a marker on the proper white key
  • Sharps, flats, and naturals – Say a note like “F sharp” out loud and have them mark the appropriate key
  • Intervals – Tell them “Place your first marker on C, then your next marker a fifth up from C” or “Use your marker and start on C. Then move up a third, down a fifth, and up a second. Where do you end up?”
  • Triads – Make a major triad with your three markers with D as the root
  • Scales – If you have lots of markers, you can even have them mark out a major, minor, or other scale

For added fun and if you only have a few students that are equally distant from each other, you can place a call bell in the center of the students and then have the student who completes the assignment first ring the bell! We call it the “bell game!”
