Halloween Freebies: Music for Beginners

9/2/2017

This year I have quite a few new beginner students, so I thought it would be a perfect time to put together a few easy Halloween pieces to share!

Feel free to download the three pieces below and use them with your students this fall.

The Halloween Song (beginner): this is the silly song that most kids learn in grade school ("trick or treat, smell my feet..."). This version uses only quarter notes and half notes on the black keys and is easy enough to be taught by rote. This would be a great piece for a first lesson! Click HERE.

Trick or Treat (primer): this is an original composition with an optional teacher duet. It is written on the staff using only A and B in the left hand and C, D, E, F, G in the right hand. This would make a great piece for a Halloween recital! Click HERE.

In the Hall of the Mountain King (elementary): a student favorite, this easy version of Grieg's classic piece uses the D minor five-finger scale and has a simple hand crossing and position shift that is marked in the score for ease of reading. Click HERE.

Enjoy! If you use any of these pieces with your students, please leave a comment and let me know. I would love to hear from you!

Thank you, Chrissy! I like your choice in the Grieg to have the LH cross over. I've tried arranging this for elementary level students (at their request) but struggled with the range of melody notes. It's a good solution.
