I've recently updated my "Free Stuff" page with lots of new spooky freebies--just in time for Halloween!

Today I'll be rounding up my free sheet music for beginners and beyond! You'll find both spooky Halloween titles as well as minor key and fall-themed freebies that will appeal to students who don't celebrate Halloween.

Ready to see the freebies? Click below!

The Halloween Song

Young beginners will love being able to play the famous "trick or treat, smell my feet" song using only the black keys! This piece is easy enough to teach by rote and would also make a fun first lesson activity for new students.

Trick or Treat

This fun piece is perfect for primer students who have learned a few notes on the staff. It also includes an optional teacher duet for a fuller sound.

Theme from Mahler's Symphony No. 1

This elementary arrangement is a great example of how changing a familiar piece to a minor key can create a completely different sound!

For even more fun, this piece can also be played as a round by having additional players start from the beginning after two measures have been played.

In the Hall of the Mountain King

Who doesn't love this famous piece by Grieg, which has become a Halloween classic?

This arrangement makes the spooky favorite accessible to elementary students with a minimum of position shifts.

Theme from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

Students of all ages will recognize this famous classical piece, and the minor key makes it perfect for Halloween!

This elementary arrangement gives students the opportunity to learn about fermatas as well as to play both hands an octave lower than written.

Candy Corn Boogie

This lively late elementary piece is perfect for students who want a fall-themed piece that isn't specific to Halloween. It includes an optional teacher duet for a fuller sound.

Handel's Sarabande in D minor

This arrangement of Handel's famous piece will give you the opportunity to introduce early intermediate students to the "sarabande," a staple of the Baroque dance suite.
