Meet the Piano Keys: trace, write, find, color. Three worksheets fanned out, each showing a large letter to trace, a bee on a honeycomb, and a piano keyboard. Click to download the free PDF

One of my piano students doesn't use technology at home.

Since so much of my beginner teaching is reinforced through Bees Keys, I still wanted her to have a way to practice those same piano key-name skills between lessons. So I made her some worksheets!

They worked so well that I decided to turn them into a full printable set to share with other piano teachers.

These worksheets are designed as a simple introduction to the pattern of the piano keyboard and the names of the white keys. Students practice recognizing groups of two and three black keys, finding individual notes, and getting comfortable with keyboard geography.

    Printer-friendly Pages that students can write, trace, and color on.

    Colorful Print once, laminate, and use over and over with a dry-erase marker.

Use them during a lesson, send them home for extra practice, or keep a laminated set in your studio for new beginners.

Then play it on Bees Keys! 🐝

Once your student has explored the notes on paper and at the piano, let them practice the same skill through Bees Keys!

I love using the worksheets to introduce the concept, then letting students reinforce it through play. And with Bees Keys Pro, students can play directly on their own piano using microphone or MIDI input.
