Teaching Young Children (Ages 4-8) Music?

Download and Print an inexhaustible library of worksheets designed especially for this age group.

Imagine for a minute your youngest students – We are talking under the age of 8, little kids. Some teachers have students as young as 4, some even younger. It is a fact that the younger you can expose children to music, the better off they will be… even if it is frustrating at times!

Learning music theory (learning the note names, the rhythm names and symbols and how to read music) is vital for every age group, and can’t be ignored.

Whatever age your young children are – just focus on them and see if I can magically describe them for you:

"..… They are fidgety, they are hard to keep focused, they really struggle reading music and never practice! They do alright when it comes to the practical parts of the lesson, they seem to concentrate alright, but when it comes to theory you are really stuck. "

Am I right?

Well the product on this page is designed to help with that. The Junior Musicianship system is an entire collection of worksheets that have been designed with this exact age group in mind.

These worksheets have:

Large Print Manuscript
designed just for little fingers and thick pencils or markers.

One concept per worksheet
so that they can focus on one thing and retain it.

Very few words
Preschool children usually havn’t learned how to read yet!

Here is what is included with the Junior Musicianship System:

Which students is this product suitable for?

This product is designed for young students, learning music theory in classes, small groups or in one-on-one tuition. It is ideal for children between the ages of 4-7 years.

Why is this better than a book?

When you use a theory book you virtually have to teach a concept in the order that it is given in the book. With self-printed worksheets you choose what and when to print out the worksheets for your children, so it is infinitely flexible

Where did you get these categories from?

What we have done is gone through all the basic texts we can find – tutors for teaching piano, recorder, violin and any other instrument that YOUNG children play, and we’ve looked at all the concepts that are included. Then we’ve attempted to write a worksheet that teaches just that concept.

What we did next was take those concepts and attempt to group them in the most practical, easy way that will make it really easy for you to find the worksheet you need, first time, every time.

Hit the print button and away you go. The whole process of choosing a worksheet is designed to be done in about 10-30 seconds!

What if the Junior Musicianship System doesn’t have the worksheet I need?

YOU get to be involved in the development process.

Yes, that’s right. We don’t feel that we are necessarily qualified to develop the right resources for YOUR music lessons, as everyone has different needs. Therefore we’ve come up with a way to offer you what you need.

Bonus #1 – Unlimited Variation Requests Yes that’s right. If you need a worksheet for this age group to help them learn a concept which is not yet covered in this program all you need to do is fill in this simple form request and we’ll make it up for you and post it in the members area. In most cases our team of designers can get this done within 48 hours. Of course, we can come up with a bunch of teaching worksheets on our own, put them out there and say "that’s it", but this is not the intention with this particular product. Once you are a member of the "Junior Musicianship System" we love you to send in variation and new worksheet requests, because it adds value to the course for everyone. Imagine how amazing this product will be in the next few years, with hundreds and possibly even thousands of contributors giving ideas and feedback to the product, and making it better all the time! In the meantime you have access to the over 200 worksheets that we have created so far, and we are on the job full time to work with you in providing what isn’t included yet.

Bonus #2 – Musicianship Incentive Pack We all recognize that incentives are really helpful in teaching young children. Children LOVE stickers and certificates, and it gives them a sense of achievement as they complete the course. This little bonus incentive pack contains three elements: A Sticker Chart and Printable Stickers that you can print out yourself on plain sticker paper A selection of completion certificates that you can choose from to print out for your students, at any time you feel they have completed the junior musicianship requirements.* A Teachers Record chart, allowing you to keep records of what student has completed what worksheet.

Bonus #3 – Audio Training "8 Strategies for Teaching Music Theory to Young Children" You may have already downloaded the "8 Strategies for helping young children to learn music theory" document, but I was so excited when I wrote that document that I wanted to expand on it further, so I recorded an audio program for you. This 30 Minute training has loads of practical ideas that you can use to effectively improve your communication with young children.

Is this genuine? Or is this another internet scam?

The internet gives you quite literally access to a world full of resources and tools – many of them free, and many of them where you have to pay, and you never really know what websites are trying to scam you into taking your money for no good reason.

If you’ve ever been scammed on the internet then you’ve got good reason to be fearful – however it isn’t the internet that scammed you… it’s a person!
