Help your students confidently bridge the gap between reading music and playing it on the piano with this engaging "Connect the Staff to Piano" worksheet activity! Designed specifically for beginners, this resource provides a fun and interactive way for students to practice identifying notes on the staff and matching them to their corresponding keys on the piano.

What's Included:

• Treble Clef Worksheet: Notes on the staff on the left side, with a piano keyboard on the right. Students connect each note to its correct key.
• Bass Clef Worksheet: Similar format, focusing on notes in the bass clef.
• Answer Keys: Provided for both treble and bass clef worksheets to make grading easy and efficient.

This activity is perfect for individual practice, homework assignments, or as a classroom learning station. It reinforces note recognition and keyboard geography, laying a solid foundation for future music reading and playing skills. Whether you're teaching piano lessons or general music classes, this resource will help students build essential connections between written music and the piano keyboard.

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!
