Oh yes, I found a couple more Halloween songs at
http://www.gmajormusictheory.org. There are lots of good songs there that you can download and print. I used the two little songs on Susan Paradis site with my students and they work pretty well as a duet. You might have to change a couple of notes.

Hi There,
I am really appreciating your blog to “connect” with another piano teacher, and your ideas are awesome. BTW I used this Skittles game yesterday and it was a big hit!! Although…I have had parents tell me afterwards ‘they don’t allow candy.’…..(can you imagine?):-)So in the future I will ask parents before doling out sweets.

Susan Paradis has a few fun ones she’s written on her website. http://www.susanparadis.wordpress.com/ They are easy and one of my brand new beginners is in love with all of them. I haven’t been able to find any other sites, but I would love a link if somebody else has had some luck!

I have a question….Does anyone know of a site where I can download and print some easy Halloween songs?

Great Fun for everyone. Only one suggestion….you might want to substitute fresh skittles instead of eating the game pieces that everyone has touched. These kids hands are everywhere!!!
