These lessons are all planned and ready to go - all you have to do is print the sheets and hide the missing bars! Make it as easy or as difficult as you like. Students each get a worksheet which contains sheet music for a seasonal or themed song, but several bars are missing. They go on a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt to find the missing bars (held by elves, baseball players, leprechauns etc to match the theme) which the students copy onto their sheet. Gotta get that music theory into your lessons! Once they have found all the missing bars, they will have the completed sheet music to play on their xylophone, keyboard, piano, recorder - or any treble clef instrument really! Full sheet music with lyrics and chords is included if you want to lead a class performance from the piano.

Music teachers are busy year-round and it can be tough to incorporate seasonal activities in a packed curriculum. You probably teach multiple classes and year groups and it’s impossible to create individual lessons for them all for every single occasion! With some seasonal and some “evergreen” variations included in the bundle, you can have these ready for any time of year. These lessons are low-prep and can be used with multiple different age groups - print once and use for multiple classes! I’d suggest using from around age 10-14, but check out the previews to judge for your own students.
