The Ultimate Music Theory Worksheet Guide

1. note names.

Help your new beginners master the notes as quickly as possible, and you’ll see that kids learn new pieces easier and with less frustration. This increases their satisfaction with your instruction and boosts their confidence. It’s true that time is a precious commodity during a lesson, but reserving time for note reading is worth every second! Read on for fun free music theory printables and ideas for applied learning activities that teach note identification.

2. Use the printable to play a game . Give your students a copy of the worksheet and a handful of small candies like M&M’s. Call out a note name and ask your students to place a candy over the correct note. At the end of the game, students get to eat all the candies. This game works well both as a group game or in a private lesson.

3. You can also use this printout to give kids extra practice with the stem rules . Hand them the worksheet and ask them to add stems to all the notes. Turn it into a fun manipulative exercise by giving your students yarn or pretzel sticks that they can use to add the stems. I guarantee they’ll have a ball with this easy activity for your hands-on learners.

I designed Bubble Notes with new beginners in mind. When you’re working with students who are just being introduced to the notes on the staff, you’ll want to give them extra note identification practice, but they’ll feel overwhelmed if you hand them a standard note name worksheet . This worksheet only has treble notes middle C through G and the top notes of the bass staff , which are typically the first notes a beginner pianist learns in her method books. This worksheet has a fun them that’s appealing to young kids and they enjoy writing their answers inside the bubbles.

Remember that it is important to give your music students many frequent opportunities to practice note names . Practice note identification at every lesson with new beginners. If you have any students who are far along, but seem to struggle with some notes, I encourage you to pause and make time for reviewing note names. You’ll see dramatic improvement in their abilities and in their attitude towards music lessons. I’ve created quite a few note name activities, and I encourage you to utilize them to help kids master the notes as soon as possible. Their music studies will be much easier as soon as they do!

Try it today:

• Print Polka Dot Notes and play the fun hands on activity described above that helps kids learn note names.
• Give your young beginners a copy of Bubble Notes. See how many notes they correctly identify and then give them extra practice with problem notes.

2. Music Intervals

I made Music Interval Stars for kids who are just getting introduced to music intervals. Keep in mind that you can start introducing intervals even to very young students. We sometimes think we need to wait, but it’s really not necessary. I’ve seen five year old kids quickly become proficient, and it puts them on a super fast track for reading music.

Here’s how I like to introduce intervals. I first show simple examples–the Music Interval Stars worksheet works great. We learn how to count the lines and spaces to give the interval a name. We’ll practice this for several weeks until I feel like the kids have a sound understanding of how intervals are classified by size. Then we’ll started working on rapid identification by sight (without counting lines and spaces).

Now let me share with you a great interval activity that will help your students with ear training and help them better understand how music works: Print out one of these worksheets and have your student identify all the intervals. Then highlight three or four of them and ask your student to play the notes and describe the sounds . First play the notes melodically and then harmonically. Ask leading questions to help your student get really specific in describing the characteristics of the sound. Does it sound happy or sad? Calm or tense? Do you think these notes could be used to end a song, or does it sound like the notes need resolution?

Here’s one more activity that will help your students really internalize these intervals. Ask your students to go home and compose a short song that contains all of the intervals you highlighted and discussed on the worksheet. Before turning them loose, you might help them analyze which of the intervals could be used for an interesting introduction, and which would give their piece a good conclusion. This simple activity will get you big results, and I encourage you to print out one of the worksheets today and try it with your students. You’ll be impressed by their creations and their retention of the material.

• Print Music Interval Stars for your young students and Music Intervals for kids who are more advanced. Help students identify all the intervals on the page.
• Highlight a few intervals from the worksheet. Play them and discuss the characteristics of the sound. Then invite students to create a song using these intervals.

3. The Circle of Fifths

This particular printable is one of the most popular music theory worksheets on my website . It’s also one of my personal favorites because music students get to practice two important concepts that go hand in hand. To complete the worksheet, students first go around the circle and write the name of each key . Then students can go back through and practice writing the sharps and flats to complete each key signature. You can remind them to pay special attention to the correct placement of the sharps and flats . Give your students a new copy of this worksheet about every other month and before long they’ll be pros at using the circle of fifths and key signatures.

Once completed, either of these printables can be used to play a game called “Dizzy Keynote Frenzy” . Sit near the piano and all you need is the printout, a marker, a die, and a token for each player. Place all tokens on the same wedge and player 1 rolls the die and moves that number of spaces around the circle. The student then has 30 seconds to play the keynote that corresponds to that section of the circle. If she answers correctly, she gets to write her initials in the space. The next player then takes a turn to roll the die. If his token lands on a space that already has initials, he looses that turn. Play continues until every wedge has a set of initials. The player who initialed the most sections of the circle of fifths wins.

I created a couple more variations on these activities so that you can find the one that best fits your goals for teaching your students. There are black and white copies for teachers who have a large class and can’t afford colored printing. There are music worksheets that focus on treble clef key signatures and others that focus on bass clef key signatures so that you can help your students become proficient with both clefs–especially when it comes to writing the sharps and flats on the correct line or space. To see these printables, visit circle of fifths worksheets .

• Review two critical concepts at once with the colored circle of fifths worksheet above. Students get to identify each key and also practice writing sharps and flats to complete a key signature.
• Use the completed worksheet to play the game “Dizzy Keynote Frenzy” (see instructions above).

4. Rhythm Worksheets

Grab the printed worksheet, a basket and three beanbags or small balls. Hand your student the worksheet and ask him to give it his best shot and see if he can get a perfect score. Tell him that if he gets a perfect score, he’ll get to try his hand at scoring points with a real basket.

This music worksheet covers these rhythm topics:

• Writing the counts beneath the notes in a measure
• Adding barlines where needed to give each measure the correct number of beats

If the student misses an answer or two, help him understand how to get the correct answers and then let him have a turn tossing the beanbags or balls into the basket. Your student will have a blast and will probably remember this rhythm lesson years later!

Each cookie displays a time signature that matches one of the example measures. You can have your students draw a line from the cookie to the correct measure, or you can ask them to write in the time signature for each measure. I usually prefer to have them write it in, just because I think it’s good practice for students.

If you have any students who miss several answers, go through the assignment with them and help them write the counts beneath each note or rest . I had one student who kept missing these until I finally discovered wasn’t giving the rests any beats.

Turn this worksheet into a fun manipulative activity by giving your students pull-apart licorice or pretzel sticks. They can use the snacks to add the bar lines. They’ll be extra motivated to do their best if you tell them that they get to eat the snacks after they’ve correctly completed the exercise!

• Grab a basket and a small ball and let kids “give it their best shot” after completing the worksheet.
• Give kids a snack as they work on Missing Bar Lines. Pretzel sticks or licorice can be used for bar lines and your students will love it!

5. Piano Worksheets

Fun Ideas for Active Learning: After completing the worksheet, ask kids to find and play each note on the piano. Or give the child a handful of blue, green, and orange beads and ask him to place a bead on the piano key that matches the highlighted keys on the printable. Have him name the key each time he places a bead.

Fun Ideas for Active Learning: Point to a number on the worksheet and ask your student to play a white key with that finger. Then point to another number and ask the child to play a black key with the correct finger. There are a lot of variations if you ask for right hand or left hand, or if your students know the names of the keys and you call out a finger number and the letter name of a key. For more music theory printables that are specific to the piano, see piano worksheets

• Use Howdy, Partner to drill the names of the piano keys. Practice finding and playing each key on the physical piano after completing the worksheet.
• Reinforce finger numbers with young kids by utilizing the finger numbers printout.

6. Scales and Chords

Scale Detective lets kids imagine that they are detectives searching for the clue to how scales are formed. I love that the worksheet includes a keyboard diagram above the notes of the scale. This diagram is especially helpful for beginners who may not yet be able to quickly identify whole and half steps while viewing music notation. But when you relate those notes to the keyboard, it’s easy as pie to see where the half steps are.

Scales help us understand how one note relates to another within a key, so I encourage you to have your student practice playing scales and know the theory behind how they are formed with half steps and whole steps. Click on the image to the right to print the older student version of the major scales activity.

Chords are also a super easy way to harmonize a melody when kids make up their own songs or want to embellish a simple piece. Teach kids the formula for building chords, and they’ll be able to play any chord they need. The worksheet featured here helps kids master the formula for building major chords. The half step formula is listed at the top of the page and students just color in the keys needed to complete each chord. This is one of my favorite music theory worksheets to use with older beginners. I like to help them learn their chords as quickly as possible so that they can start having fun with piano improv . And the older students really appreciate this–they’re excited to be able to start making their own impressive music after only a few lessons.

• Help students figure out the whole half pattern in major scales with Scale Detective. They’ll better retain the information because they discovered it with their own brainpower.
• Also use these worksheets to teach that each key has a tonal center called a tonic. Students can practice identifying the tonic for each scale on the printout.

7. Drawing Music Symbols

This worksheet will help your students pay attention to the details of the symbols and learn how to draw them correctly. Students first trace and then draw the brace, double bar line, bass clef, and treble clef. I’ve found that student are much more confident when then first get to trace the element. Then when they immediately draw it free hand much more accurately.

But don’t get me wrong! The first time students draw a brace or a clef it will look wacky. But with practice they’ll get better. And as your students begin composing their own songs or writing down a little ditty that they’ve improvised, they’ll be able to do so because you took the time to teach them how to draw these symbols.

The biggest monster for most students, however, is the quarter rest. That little squiggly line can cause a lot of frustration for kids. I like to have my students trace it, and then when they freehand I tell them that it looks kind of like a “Z” with a tail. These instructions seem to help and it’s fun to see kids improve as they continue to practice drawing music symbols.

8. Identifying Half Steps and Whole Steps

You might go one step further and ask your students to play the notes on the keyboard. Kids who are kinesthetic learners will especially benefit from playing and vocalizing the steps they see.

I recommend that you begin with the keyboard worksheet and then introduce this worksheet that has notes on the staff. This worksheet can be used to build a foundation before delving into the identification of music intervals by type.

Help kids complete this worksheet by having them sit at the keyboard and play the notes. With time, students will be able to identify the steps without sitting at the piano, but this is a great way to help them visualize the distance between the notes.

• Use the keyboard worksheet to introduce whole and half steps. Then have your student play whole and half steps on the piano.
• Help students become proficient at classifying whole and half steps on the staff with the second worksheet from this section.

9. Treble Clef Notes and Bass Clef Notes

The most common issue I see is kids that are great with the right hand notes, but really struggle to identify bass clef notes. For whatever reason, kids always seem to need extra practice with those left hand notes, so you’ll want to visit eartrainingandimprov.com often to print bass clef worksheets like the one you see here. You can view all bass clef worksheets by clicking bass clef worksheets

Click on an image to the left to print in black and white.

• Consider each student. Do any of them struggle with treble or bass clef notes?
• Print a worksheet for each student that has difficulties. The activities in this section allow you to give special attention to a student’s particular weakness in note reading.

10. Rhythm Worksheets for New Beginners

Do you have really young students who need extra reinforcement with rhythm basics? I created Playing With Rhythm especially for those little ones.

First review with your students what half notes and quarter notes look like. I usually point to a quarter note first and ask the kids to describe what it looks like. We conclude that it’s a black oval with a stem. Then I point to a half note and ask them to tell me what makes this note different from the first note. We conclude that it looks the same, except that it is “empty”.

Then play! Give kids this worksheet and ask them to “run around the playground” looking for all the half notes. Young kids think it’s fun to wander their pencil around this 2D playground and circle the half notes. And after they’ve identified over a dozen, they’ll confidently identify these rhythm notes next time they sit down with their method books.

• Ask your young beginners to circle all the half notes on the Playing With Rhythm printout.
• Invite students to give Early Bird a crazy hairdo by drawing lines to connect each note with its numeric value. Students will love this silly activity!

11. Music Alphabet

This first worksheet is for introducing the music alphabet. You can show them the print out and explain that the music alphabet is just like the regular alphabet, only easier because it has just 7 letters. Invite your student to point to each letter while you recite the music alphabet. Next, hand the child a pencil and ask her to copy the music alphabet onto the lines.

At the next few lessons, continue reviewing the music alphabet by asking the student to verbalize it with you and also write it down. When you think she’s got a good understanding, you’re ready to try this next worksheet.

Either of this worksheets can be used with manipulatives. You can use alphabet letter tiles or beads and ask the student to place a bead of the correct letter on the black space. Adding this kind of variety to your lessons will help your students stay excited about piano.

• Do you have any brand new beginners? Print the music alphabet worksheet and try the activity described above.
• Use the What’s Next worksheet to evaluate whether your students fully understand that the music alphabet has only 7 letters and then it repeats.

I REALLY LEARNT A LOT FROM YOUR WORKS SO FAR. INFACT WITH THIS EVERY CHILD WILL BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE LESSONS IN MUSIC

April 7, 2014 at 6:05 am

I’ve seen lots of students who are good at treble clef notes, but really struggle with the bass clef. I’ve tried asking parents to do flashcards at home, but it hasn’t really worked that well. I’m looking forward to trying your worksheets and these fun activities. Thank you!

April 7, 2014 at 2:10 pm

Have I told you you’re awesome today? I think its fantastic how you create or find all these resources just to hook kids into music. As a public educator with very little resources, I love the free worksheets and activity ideas. Thank you!!!

April 9, 2014 at 4:33 am

Thanks Beth, Jenny and Heather. I’m glad you like the worksheets!

I know what you mean, Teri. Families are busy and aren’t always able to help their students get in the extra practice they need. We just do the best we can during lessons and that’s why quick activities like these are perfect!

April 7, 2014 at 10:34 pm

Wow what a useful fun set of resources – thank you!

Kind regards

South Africa

October 21, 2014 at 5:22 am

Ilse, how wonderful that these worksheets are being used all the way in South Africa. It’s so fun that we can share ideas and help each other. Great job keeping the right frame of mind during so many years of teaching. You’re right, when music is fun, kids respond so much better. Your students are lucky to have you!

November 12, 2014 at 10:31 pm

Thank you Kristin! So kind and generous of you to make these worksheets and activities available to all. I can only imagine the time and effort you have put into all this! With appreciation, Peter

December 17, 2014 at 6:30 am

Thanks, Peter! It has been a lot of effort to make these, but worth it when they help kids make more progress and help other teachers save time on lesson prep. Thanks for your kind comment.

January 6, 2015 at 2:12 am

very very nice… Thank you

January 13, 2015 at 12:22 am

I loved it! I share all the comments about music theory being fun fun fun! As a cultural & Arts teacher I try to find ways to make Culture, Arts & Music a fun experience for my students. Music theory can be very challenging. Thank you for these awesome Ideas! My musical & warm greetings from sunny Happy Island Of Aruba!

March 4, 2015 at 8:36 am

Hi, I was struggling hard to teach my son (6yo) the music notes as I am not music trained. This site was an answered prayer! Thank You for your generous sharing for the spread of music education!! I teach mainly Visual Arts. Am very encouraged and inspired by blogs like yours and strive to give freely as well. Lots of Gratitude from the heart!

March 5, 2015 at 8:13 am

Angie, what a sweet comment. I’m so glad that these will help. And I’m super impressed that you’re teaching the notes to your son. Keep up your great work–giving your son a music education will enrich his life in so many ways and he’ll be so grateful for all the time and effort you’re investing to help him grow. What a wonderful mother you are!

March 24, 2015 at 9:54 am

I super love it. THANKS for the great help :)))))

March 25, 2015 at 4:15 am

Thanks Kesha! You’re super too–keep up your great work!

April 17, 2015 at 1:38 pm

Thank you so much for these worksheets! My son has autism, visual processing disorder and dyslexia and has been taking piano lessons for almost one year. He has been making steady progress, but we are still having trouble learning the note names. Also each time a new concept is introduced, it is difficult for him to master it. These worksheets are a answer to prayer for us. They are visually spaced so well it is easy for him to see what he is supposed to be learning without the “extra fluff”! We are making more progress since we found them than we had before. He is truly enjoying learning the piano and this has given him such a much needed confidence boost. Thank you! Thank you!

April 17, 2015 at 4:33 pm

Allison, thank you for taking the time to share your son’s progress. That is wonderful! It warms my heart to hear that something I created has played a small role in helping your son with his musical education. You’re a great mom for being so involved in his lessons and for giving him the gift of music.

January 19, 2017 at 3:26 pm

Thank you for helping kids learn music. The are I live in doesn’t focus on music like when I was young. My kids are missing out on band and basics. This makes it easier for me to teach them to read music and appreciate it.

January 24, 2017 at 4:07 am

So glad these are helpful, Laura. You’re a great mom for filling in the gaps in your children’s education.

April 19, 2017 at 9:29 am

These resources are very useful. i’m very excited to use all of these in our workshop. It’s really a great help. Thank you very much Kristin for your very creative mind and generous heart to share all of your ideas with us. May God bless you always for thinking others.

April 21, 2017 at 2:38 pm

Hi Kristin!

I love your site, and I use A LOT of your free printables for my students! I was wondering if you had any more worksheets on note values than listed here? Maybe some with time signatures or adding up the note values or creating rhythms. Thanks!

April 23, 2017 at 3:27 pm

So glad that these worksheets are helpful! You’re right, I do need to get more rhythm worksheets uploaded. There are some scattered throughout the holidays, so anytime that you’re approaching a holiday, you can use those for the worksheets. But I’ll definitely need to add some more general use worksheets.

June 13, 2017 at 2:04 am

Thank you for making all of these great resources available! I will be starting to teach lessons this summer after a hiatus. I am excited to try these ideas with my new students!

July 20, 2017 at 11:17 pm

Love your ideas. look forward to using more, just got a new 6yr old student

August 2, 2017 at 4:41 am

Terima kasih (Thank u) from Indonesia. This is my first year being a music teacher in a formal school. These worksheets help me a lot

January 31, 2018 at 5:52 pm

Question. Do you have the answer keys to these worksheets? My kids take piano, but I don’t play. Their teacher wants them to practice note identification and I love these….but I have no idea if they are correct or not. Thank yo!!!

February 15, 2018 at 1:36 pm

Thanks so much for these free printables!! I have a Life Skills music student who is moving to the far, far north of Canada where there is no school past Grade 8 (age 13 or so). He loves music and has perfect pitch, so I’m glad I was able to print some music worksheets for him to take along when he moves.

March 10, 2018 at 7:29 pm

Thanks so much! You have really encouraged me to start a group pre-piano class. I have some fun games and ideas to get it going. I also do a lot with movement since I am a retired general music teacher so I feel confident I have enough to get started!

April 24, 2018 at 10:32 pm

I am looking for a printable that I saw online yesterday. (But can’t find today!) it was a picture of an elephant with a bird on its head and a fly on the bird’s head. It was a fun way of illustrating the e,b,and f lines on the treble clef. Was this one on your printables?

April 25, 2018 at 3:09 am

Hi Debbie! Yes, a link to the printable can be found on the Treble Clef Worksheets page. Best wishes for you and your students!

September 12, 2018 at 2:15 am

Thank you so much for these worksheets! I’m glad that there are a variety of resources that I can use to make the lesson more interesting and meaningful for my younger students. I’ve only taught piano lessons for one year so things like this have really helped me get started and know how to teach my students.

September 12, 2018 at 4:41 pm

Thanks for your kind comment! I’m so glad these are helpful and wish you and your students a great year.

October 9, 2018 at 2:34 am

Thank you so much! What a resource!

March 28, 2019 at 8:28 am

I was pleasantly surprised when I found these helpful, colourful and creative worksheets. Thank you so much!

April 28, 2019 at 7:56 pm

Your site has great ideas for my special education students in middle school. They have just the right amount of examples to accommodate middle school students in my LIMMS classes! I loved them all! I only copied a few right now but perfect for my intervals, and scales lessons! Thank you so much! The students will love them. I can also leave these for a sub to use as well!

April 30, 2019 at 5:15 am

Jean, your kind comment made my day. I’m so happy to hear that these worksheets are helping your students. Keep up your great work!

May 14, 2019 at 1:46 pm

These are fabulous. I teach chorus in a k-12 and i find them really helpful in my classes as well! great job on your website too!

August 21, 2019 at 9:05 pm

You made these sheets right around when my baby was born and now she is 5 and using them. It’s amazing how your effort is still helping parents after many years and will continue to help. Thank you for this!

October 10, 2019 at 6:14 pm

Oh how wonderful! Your comment made me smile, and I’m so happy that your daughter is enjoying these theory worksheets.

August 28, 2019 at 11:11 pm

These worksheets are really great! I was asked to teach the little kids this year, and I didn’t have much fun stuff for them, so this is a wonderful find. I know it took a lot of work and time to put these together. Thank you so much!

September 18, 2019 at 6:20 am

Wow! Thank you so much, these worksheets and tips are amazing and so helpful when still finding your teaching feet.

Thanks alot – I was looking for things to give my students to print at home during coronavirus lockdown and a couple of these were perfect – the ball bouncing one is great cause it gives them something non-computer oriented to do.

Thank you so much for all the worksheets. Like most of the world, we are going though the COVID19 (corona virus) social distancing.

Those "difficult to reach" guitar players

Sometimes guitar players can be a bit "difficult to reach" with regard to enthusing them with the benefits of learning about music theory. This is maybe because we have to admit that it is possible to sound perfectly competent (and even inspired!) on the instrument without having the faintest idea what you are doing. The download has some guitar based material designed to "meet them half way" and hopefully help such students to see that music theory is a tool to be used rather than an obstacle to be avoided

Free Printable Music Notes Worksheets

If you’ve been helping your kids learn their notes (here’s our FREE PRINTABLE MUSIC NOTES CHART !), you’ll want some music notes worksheets to help with that!

Start with this one to learn the notes. ⬇️

The download links for these worksheets for practice naming the notes after you’ve learned them are below.

I made 3 different music notes worksheets levels:

LEVEL 1 looks just like the study sheet, except the note names are removed.

LEVEL 2 has each row mixed up a little, but space notes and line notes are still kept separate.

LEVEL 3 mixes up space and line notes for the treble clef and then the bass clef.

Another way to use these worksheets is for the parent or teacher to take a blank worksheet and point to the notes completely out of order – check your student’s response time and take mental note of what note takes them more time to identify than others, then work a little extra on those troublesome notes.

Let me know in the comments below what other kinds of music worksheets you are interested in seeing here on Moms Printables!

:: PIN FOR LATER ::

These clef tracing worksheets are fun, too!

Thank you so much for these free worksheets! I’m so happy I found them. I teach 30 private lessons per week, and these are perfect for some of my young piano students. Just wondering….. Do you have notation work sheets where the notes make words?

I’m so glad to hear that these are helpful! I have notespeller pages on my to-do list, so I will bump that up to the top. ?? Check back in a week or so…..

New post is live! 🙂

What music teacher wouldn’t like a little more time to enjoy summer?  Less time prepping for fall music classes = more time for yourself! 

For your beginners and progressing students, here are 209  music theory worksheets (plus answer keys!) that come in an instant download. 

They are already organized in a zip file into 19 logical categories.

Whether you teach private instrumental lessons, group lessons in your own studio, or music classes in the school system, there is something here for you. 

All you have to do is print and distribute the worksheets to your students — and watch the learning begin!

The problem with many current theory books is that the pages are crowded. 

When there is too much theory to do on one page, students often feel overwhelmed from the start.

However, what is immediately attractive about these music theory worksheets is that there is only one concept per page.

Furthermore, each concept is divided into small tasks.

There is also a perfect amount of “white space” on each page, and the print size is fairly large.

For all these reasons, students will look at these pages and get the feeling that the activities are easy .

And when pages look engaging and uncomplicated, students more readily tackle them, don’t they?

If you’re a visual learner, there is an in-depth preview video of these music theory worksheets just for you at the bottom of this article. 

Music Theory Worksheets Part 1:  A Solid Beginning!

Higher, Lower, Same :  The first packet of worksheets in this comprehensive bundle of music theory worksheets comprises a total of nine pages that are sequential in level of difficulty and use the treble, bass, and alto clefs equally.  First, the student sees sets of two notes at a time on the treble staff. 

Each set of two notes has its own clef and its own little staff, so students can truly focus on just two notes at a time.  They write “H” if the notes move higher, “L” if the notes move lower, or “S” if the two notes are the same. 

The next two pages consist of the same activity using the bass clef and alto clef instead.

Subsequently, there are pages in which the student is to trace two notes at a time, then circle the note that is lower. 

On the next pages, the students do the same but circle the note that is higher. 

With only nine mini-tasks per page, the overall impression given is one of uncluttered, easy music theory.

Lines and Spaces :  This section consists of 15 sequential pages with an even distribution of treble, bass, and alto clef worksheets. 

As before, there are nine mini-staves per page.  On each staff, there is only one note.  Students simply write “L” if it’s a line note, or “S” if the note is a space note. 

On subsequent pages, students name space notes in one clef only, and then name line notes in one clef only. 

They write the “saying” (e.g. FACE , Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge , etc.) at the top of the page.

This serves as a good reminder!

Finally, students trace the space notes and then trace the line notes, writing the note name in the box below each note.

Note-Naming Practice : Sixteen pages of vital theory await your eager students! There are three each of treble clef, bass clef, and alto clef pages to complete. 

Some of them contain just line notes, some have just space notes, and some have both lines and spaces.

Then, there are pages designed specifically for piano students. 

Do your students need note-naming practice in C , Middle C , or G Position? Seven additional worksheets await them. 

All of these worksheets have 16 notes to label, each one having its own clef and its own little staff so students can focus on labeling one note at a time.

Draw Notes on the Staff : Once students can name the notes, it’s time to draw them!

There are nine pages to practice this skill on, three pages for each clef.  The worksheets follow a logical sequence. 

First, students draw line notes on the treble staff.  On the next page, they draw only space notes, and on the third page, they draw both line and space notes.  The same sequence is repeated for the bass staff and the alto staff. 

Again, there are 16 notes to draw per page, always well spread out.

This gives the impression that there’s not too much “work” involved. 

And we all know that student impressions are important, especially when being asked to complete music theory worksheets! 

Music Theory Worksheets Part 3: Puzzles and Games!

Musical Spelling Bee : Here we have 12 pages of fun, each with a slightly different focus.  On six of the pages, students identify notes on the staff, thus spelling the given words.  On the other six pages, they draw whole notes to spell the words.

There are three-letter words to spell in each of the three clefs, then four-letter words in each clef. 

Each page is limited to just one of the aforementioned tasks.  There is always a clef at the start of each “word” to remind students of which clef they are in. 

Determining the “words” is kind of like a puzzle or mystery for students to solve, and in my experience, they love this type of activity! The music theory worksheets in this section don’t even feel like worksheets! 

(If you have students who love musical spelling, check out Ten Tips for Using the Springtime Musical Spelling Bee Game at Piano Lessons )

Word Search Puzzles :  Choir and band teachers take note!  Students are familiar with this type of puzzle, and will surely enjoy completing these nine. There’s a puzzle for each of the following categories:

• Music Symbols
• Notes & Rests
• Famous Composers
• Brass Instruments
• Percussion Instruments
• Wind Instruments
• Stringed Instruments
• Folk Instruments

Not only are the symbols at the top of each page depicted, but also there are clear, helpful drawings of the musical instruments.

Crossword Puzzles : There are six with word banks, plus the same six puzzles without the word banks.  The categories are:

• Tempo Terms
• Instruments of China
• Instruments of Africa
• Classroom Instruments
• Folk Instruments of America

At the top of puzzles three – six, there are very clear drawings of each instrument.  If you’re a music teacher who teaches world music, your students will love completing these!

The American folk instrument puzzle was the most intriguing to me.  I’ve heard of or seen the banjo, autoharp, kazoo, and spoons, but I’m unfamiliar with the dulcimer, jug, washtub bass, washboard, concertina, and dobro. 

Most of the puzzles have ten words to solve; only the Chinese instruments puzzle has eight words.

Music Theory Worksheets Part 4: Rhythms & Symbols

Write the Rhythm : In these six pages, each containing four lines of rhythms, students add the missing bar lines.

They also write the rhythm syllables or counts on the line below each rhythm (1, 2, 3, 4, Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta or whatever system you use). Only two time signatures are employed:  3/4 and 4/4 time. 

There are two Level One pages, consisting of quarter notes, half notes, and dotted half notes.  Then there are two Level Two pages, with the same rhythms as Level One plus dotted quarter notes and eighth notes.  

Finally, there are two Level Three pages, with all the rhythms of the previous levels plus sixteenth notes.

Time Signatures : These six pages also comprise three levels.  The note values and time signatures correspond to those described above. 

However for these activities, students have to determine the time signature, add the missing bar lines, and draw a double bar line. 

With only four lines of rhythms per page, the notes are big and there is lots of white space, adding to the overall “easiness factor”!

Drawing Symbols : These five pages, each containing nine large squares, require just one task: draw various music symbols, one in each square.  There is plenty of room to draw such things as dynamics, parts of the grand staff, notes and rests, sharps, flats, naturals, etc.  This is valuable practice!

Identifying Symbols : On these four pages, students simply write the name of each musical symbol on the line provided. There are nine symbols per page, each of them quite large, so the task looks easy!  The musical symbols are the same as described above.

Music Theory Worksheets Part 5: Piano Keys, Pentascales, & Chords

Piano Keys :  These eight sequential pages contain keyboard diagrams of varying lengths.  Each page requires a different task. 

For instance, on the first page, students draw a line from each piano key with an arrow on it to the correct letter; A, B, C, D, E, F , & G are provided.  Then, students identify each piano key that has a star on it. They are all white keys. 

On the second page, long keyboard diagrams are provided.  Students write the letter name on every other piano key.  Then in the next two diagrams, students write the letter name on every key marked with an arrow (random white keys). 

Each subsequent page is a little more complex.  By the time students reach the last few pages, they are drawing a line from the provided letter (sometimes with sharps & flats!) to the correct piano key. Then they draw the note on the staff.

Five-Note   Scales : Piano teachers who teach pentascales will appreciate having these six sequential worksheets to give to students as a good reinforcement of the notes. 

Seven different major scales and seven different minor scales are represented here.

As always, there is only one task per page.  One activity is matching — match the picture of each five-note scale to its name. 

Another activity is identifying and labelling — write an X on each piano key of the given major or minor five-note scale. Then write the letters of that scale in the boxes, including accidentals.

Chords : Here are 14 sequential music theory worksheets featuring a multitude of major and minor chords. There is such a variety of activities for students to do! Students identify the notes of chords on keyboard diagrams, on the staff, or both.  There are seven tasks per page and as always, the instructions are very clear.

These worksheets will give you an introduction to scales and chords, but if you need even more hands-on learning teaching scales, and chords, check out:

More Music Theory Worksheets ?  Indeed!

Musical Math : Ready for ten pages of musical addition, subtraction, and multiplication?  Math isn’t limited to math class anymore!  In each of these pages, an example is given at the top to help learners know exactly how to proceed.

Students add notes, for example, quarter note + whole note = 5, subtract notes, e.g. half note – half note = 0, or multiply, e.g. whole note X whole note = 16. 

For some pages, pupils must answer the musical math problem by writing a note in the space provided instead of a number .  Good thing there’s an answer key for those of us who haven’t done multiplication in awhile!

We have another whole blog post if you need ideas for using these specific worksheets. Read 7 Ways to Use Music Math Worksheets in a Variety of Music Classes.

Music Terminology : In these ten pages, there are anywhere from 12 – 15 tasks per page. 

Some pages require the student to simply define the given term, e.g. treble clef, eighth rest, grand staff, forte, sharp, fermata, ritardando, and many more Italian terms. 

Now the real fun can begin! The next few pages involve unscrambling some words.  There are tempo words, composer names, note names, and other musical symbol words that students need to unscramble. 

For some pages, learners must also draw a picture of the term or note in the box provided.

Music Symbol Coloring Worksheets : Twenty-one pages of coloring fun! Each page has a large music symbol or note to color.  The instructions on each page are the same:

• Circle the correct musical term from a list of four given terms. 
• Write the definition. 
• Trace and draw the symbols on the staff provided. 
• Color the picture. 

This gives students an enjoyable review of notes, rests, symbols, Italian terms, etc.

Just for Fun Pages

Use these anytime you’d like your students to be creative. The worksheets would also be very useful if you had a substitute teacher for your music class one day. 

Each of these ten pages require students to find words within a given word.  The large print musical word on each page from which students must find smaller words is one with a lot of letters, such as the words articulation, accelerando, accompaniment, impressionism , etc. 

After defining the term, pupils can either make a list of all the smaller words they found or create a “word cloud”.  An example of this is given.  This activity could be used in any music class, from elementary school to university!

Final Thoughts

Wow! This bundle of music theory worksheets really packs a punch at an affordable price.  Private teachers will especially appreciate that these pages are all black & white — save on ink costs! 

And if time is a consideration, think how many hours you’ll save by simply going to the category you want and printing out what you need, when you need it.  Why re-invent the wheel when the work has already been done for you?

There are so many ways that these activities could be used, depending on where, how, and what age you teach.

• They could be used in group classes or private lessons when quiet time is needed.
• They could be assigned as homework.
• If you teach online, they could be sent to students via the Internet or screen shared. Click here to learn how to use these music theory worksheets on your iPad!  
• You can give the student or parent the answer keys so that they can check their own work.
• Certain worksheets, such as the spelling bee pages, can be set up as a contest during a group class.
• Or you can have students do these theory worksheets in class as an assessment.

Easy Music Elements Worksheets: Music Theory Worksheets For Music Class

Teaching the elements of music and looking for worksheets? Doodle-style notes are all the rage in science and math, but doodling notes are actually a natural choice for music classes as well – especially when you’re hoping to make music theory worksheets a little more interesting.

What are doodle-style notes?

Doodle-style notes are structured worksheets that combine pictures and words to help students record and/or review essential information on a topic. It’s a learning strategy that uses both sides of the brain, and helps students remember information.

Why use doodling notes for teaching the music elements?

Performing arts classes such as music and dance are full of specific vocabulary. Music theory (the elements of music) also have a ton of specific symbols that students are expected to know. Doodling notes are a fun and visually appealing way of reviewing these terms as well as providing a “cheat sheet” (or personal dictionary) that students can keep in their binders as a reference when they need them.

Music elements worksheets are also great for…

• Providing a useful activity for your music classes when they have a supply teacher
• Covering essential music theory from the previous grade
• A paper-based activity for music teachers who need to show more “evidence”
• Homework assignments
• Take-home packets for remote learning
• As a center activity

How to use doodle notes to teach music theory

There are a few different ways you can use doodle-style worksheets to help teach music elements. The easiest and most obvious is to use each page as a review after you have covered the topic. For example, after you’ve spent time learning about the element of rhythm, you can use the “duration” page to review students’ learning.

I have blank versions of my doodle notes for most classes, but I also make a few copies that already have the text completed for those students who may have difficulty with writing.
