Halloween Freebies for 2020

The official start of fall is (finally!) just around the corner!

​Since I have recently updated my Free Stuff page, today I am sharing a round-up of all of the free resources I have available for the fall/Halloween season.

Looking for some spooky music? Or maybe a Halloween composing project to do this month? Read on for several free resources you can use with your students in the month ahead!

Composer Activity
Using the resources on the free "Classics for Kids" website, your students will answer questions about Beethoven and listen to an excerpt from his famous (and spooky!) Fifth Symphony.

​This activity packet also includes an elementary arrangement of the "Theme from the Fifth Symphony" and a corresponding theory page.

Improv and Composition
3 fun guided composition activities for elementary to intermediate students!

Rhythm Activity
These spooky rhythm cards are a fun way to help students practice counting eighth note and sixteenth note patterns.

Use these as flashcards, with students drawing a series of cards to clap correctly. Or use these as an ear training activity by clapping a rhythm and having students choose the correct cards from the deck to match the rhythm they hear.

Free Sheet Music
Spooky pieces for primer and elementary students!

(for young beginners--can be taught by rote!)

(Includes a teacher duet part!)

(a student favorite by Grieg!)

A Spooky Ensemble
Great for siblings or group classes--an elementary arrangement of the theme from Mahler's First Symphony that can be performed as a round.
