Sheet Music, piano scores for Kids

Guide

Scores for kids, why? Just as a way to let kids become familiar with notes, the same way they become familiar with letters. If you get a to know notes in an early age, it probably will be easier to read notes as an adult, which can be of great enjoyment whether you play a tune on the piano just once a year or play more regularly.

Most kids want to play instruments when they see one, learning how to play is often difficult, and demands hard work which part of the time is also boring and hard to motivate and concentrate on for a kid. The scores on this page are meant to let a kid get through a song in an easy and understandable way, just to let the kid feel it’s actually playing a whole tune, to feel that it creates music, and experience that notes can help you read music. (We don’t bother here to explain note values, pauses, finger techniques etc, all of that can come later, if and when a kid shows interest to get to know more.) These scores are done to make it as easy and intuitive as possible and to help the visual memory, buy making the notes large and easy to follow for small children, separating the lines with color to more easily get a visual guide of placement, showing the letter name of the note at the same time. The mark of a little gray “x” (which is used instead of explaining one quarter note pause value and all that complex stuff) can be explained as just as a short pause, “just hold or wait a little”. The note B is in some note system and countries known as H (and the black low “H” then becomes B). This we don’t have to dwell on here, just mention, B can sometime be named H.
