Music for Little Mozarts: Music Workbook 2: Coloring and Ear Training Activities to Bring Out the Music in Every Young Child: Piano

This workbook does the heavy lifting of concept reinforcement without asking you to design activities from scratch. Every page connects directly to the corresponding lesson book material, so students aren't puzzle-solving generic worksheets; they're deepening the exact concepts you just introduced. The balance between creative activities (coloring, tracing) and focused ear training keeps young students engaged while building genuine listening skills.

Colorful, playful, and purposeful. Students encounter familiar melodies and musical concepts woven into activities that feel like play rather than drill work. The thoughtful design keeps young hands and ears engaged while building the foundational skills that make reading music feel natural.

Early elementary pianists working through the Music for Little Mozarts curriculum will find these 48 pages essential for consolidating what they're learning in weekly lessons. Teachers running Music for Little Mozarts classes benefit from having structured, developmentally appropriate activities that reinforce concepts without requiring hours of preparation.

• Have students complete ear training pages immediately after you introduce the corresponding concept in the lesson book, while their ears are still actively tuned to the new sound or interval.
• Create a ritual around the coloring and tracing pages by having students share their finished work with the class; this builds confidence and models that music learning includes creative expression.
• Use matching activities as a quick informal assessment tool to identify who needs more time with a particular concept before moving forward.
• Play the recorded accompaniments while students work through listening pages to anchor their experience in actual sound rather than only visual representation.

Assign workbook pages as homework directly aligned with each week's lesson, or dedicate the last 10 minutes of group classes to guided work on pages students find challenging. Teachers using Music for Little Mozarts in preschool settings can integrate workbook activities into classroom music time to extend learning beyond the piano bench.
