My Favorite Valentine's Day Activities for Music Teachers

 What would Valentine's Day be without a little music teacher love? Here are 5 of my favorite music  activities that I have used with my students over the years:

1.  Valentine's Composing  A couple of years ago I came up with the idea to have my students compose their own pieces for Valentine's Day. Not all of my students were reading on the staff, so I put together this little composing activity for them to use.


2.  Puppy Love is an adorable note reading game from Andrea & Trevor Dow over at TeachPianoToday.


3. Valentine's Cookie Memory I love the many different levels this game incorporates. I'll be introducing a lot of new symbols to some of my little ones and testing the memories of my older ones. I decided to print the black and white version onto 2 sided color card card stock, then I laminated them. Personally, I think they're adorable, thanks Sara for this freebie :)


4.  Susan Paradis has a plethora of awesome piano and music activities, games, & songs on her website, I won't list them all today, but here's where they can be found.


5. I have no idea where I got this worksheet from, but it's a hit every year!

Do you do holiday activities with your students? Have you used any of these?
