For use in your piano studio, here is an early version of the Piano Assignment Sheet that I used in student's lessons. On the sheet, there is space for vocabulary, a scale and a scale visual for students (small keyboard and fingerings). On the "playlist", you may put up to 5 items for students to work on between lessons. The N/M/R: New Piece, Memorized, Review. One of these would be circled so you and the student know the urgency in practice. The Plus, Minus, and Check are a small rating system for you to assess student preparation (on the next lesson). The practice log is for a student to show how much they practice, and on what day between their lessons. Should you want to make changes to the sheet, please e-mail me at zsmusiceducation@gmail.com, and I will customize the sheet for you, for $1!

Think your kids know rhythms? Challenge them with matching familiar italiano verbiage in the form of Pizza Rhythms, a printable worksheet for your students!

There are four rhythms that line the sheet (variations of quarter and eighth note pairs) along with terminology on the side. Which italian phrase (topping, style, etc) matches the rhythm? Simply identify and ask the students to write it down, easy as a pizza pie!

Think your kids know rhythms? Challenge them with matching familiar car/truck and auto verbiage in the form of Automotive Rhythms, a printable worksheet for your students!

If you're working on melodic contours, high and low, and direction, this may be for you!

Included are 16 printable cards you can reproduce, cut out, and issue to your students.

Play these melodies on a piano, clarinet, slide whistle, however you wish! Then, ask the students to place the card which they think best resembled the melody you played.
Although there are 16 cards, you can ask students to do 4 cards a time (by telling them which cards they are to us), play the melody, and then they can choose from the multiple choice answers you allotted to them.

The image files can be put into a powerpoint as well and you can us it as an answer key after you play the melodic example.

Have fun with this on your quest to discover melodious melodies
