Winter Piano Keys Worksheets (Pre-Reading)

This is my go-to winter pack for brand new piano students. If you’re working with pre-readers or kids in their very first weeks of lessons, these worksheets focus on the absolute basics: finding black key groups, naming white keys, and understanding steps and skips. They’re simple, clear, and intentionally not overwhelming.

I love using these in January and February when students need something fresh but still very approachable. They’re easy to print, easy to explain, and great for independent work during lessons or as a quick take-home assignment.

Concepts Covered:

• Black Key Groups
• White Key Names
• Steps and Skips (on the keys)

Winter Finger Numbers Worksheets (Pre-Reading)

This pack is all about helping students really lock in the musical alphabet before they ever touch the staff. These worksheets walk beginners through identifying the letters we use in music, writing the musical alphabet forward and backward, and understanding what happens after G.

I like using these when students are right on the edge of learning white keys or just starting to connect letters to the keyboard. It’s a super easy way to reinforce an essential concept while keeping things seasonal and low-stress during the winter months.

Concepts Covered:

• Which letters are a part of the musical alphabet?
• Write the musical alphabet
• Write the musical alphabet backwards
