​Did your Halloween favorites make the list? Keep reading to find out!

Elementary

​My elementary students love minor key pieces any time of year! But this collection of famous classical pieces in minor keys is especially fun to play at Halloween time.

See the sheet music HERE.


This spooky piece from the popular "Undertale" video game makes a perfect Halloween selection, and includes a teacher duet for a fuller sound.

See the sheet music HERE.


Your Super Mario fans will love this  elementary version of the spooky theme from "Luigi's Mansion."

Late Elementary

Nothing says "Halloween" like the theme from "The Addams Family!" Students especially love performing the fun finger snaps.

(Also available for early to mid-intermediate piano HERE.)

This classic Halloween song is always a popular request, and this "easy piano" version is perfect for your late elementary students.

See the sheet music HERE.

If you are looking for an easy Halloween duet, look no further! "Knock, Knock, Knock!" is an evenly-leveled duet that is a bit jazzy, a bit spooky, and lots of fun (be sure to watch to the very end).

Early Intermediate

​Another collection of minor key classics--this time for late elementary and early intermediate students! This collection includes student favorites like "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Moonlight Sonata."

See the sheet music HERE.

Your early intermediate students will love performing this unique take on Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King."

Even if you aren't a fan of the TV series, you'll find this evocative theme from "The Walking Dead" to be perfect mood music for Halloween!

​Who you gonna call? The fun theme from "Ghostbusters" is on everyone's Halloween playlist!
