We don’t really celebrate Halloween here in Australia.\u00a0 I have noticed more and more kids trick or treating around my area each year though.<\/p>\n

I find it’s a great excuse to get my students to do something different and perhaps do some Halloween composing or play some Halloween rhythm games.<\/p>\n

This year I have written up 4 mystery pieces for my violin and piano students (grade 1 and above) to play and try figure out what the songs are.\u00a0 It is a great sight reading exercise for them.<\/p>\n

Because I’m not sure of copyright, I have only written up brief exerpts from whatever was rattling around in my head and I haven’t named them (hence ‘Mystery’).\u00a0 Of course I<\/em> know what they are \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I have only printed out one copy\u00a0 and laminated them so I can use them with each intended student.\u00a0 They seem to really like the mystery behind it all, so it is an\u00a0something I am looking forward to doing with them.<\/p>\n

Here are the Mystery Halloween pieces:-<\/p>\n

Mystery Halloween Piece 2<\/a><\/p>\n

Mystery Halloween Piece 3<\/a><\/p>\n

Mystery Halloween Piece 4<\/a><\/p>\n

I did write them while it was bucketing down with rain here, and it was a mad rush to get them done before our server malfunctioned (which it did).\u00a0 Feel free to revamp them if you so choose.<\/p>\n

PS – Yes, one mystery piece involves claps, and your student could choose to click\u00a0in it\u00a0instead.\u00a0 I am married to a ‘non-clicker’ (seriously, he can’t click) so I leave that optional just in case any student has ‘clicking issues’.\u00a0 They could also tap lightly on the piano\u00a0if they preferred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
