Happy New Year Music Color by Code Worksheets

Looking for print-and-go activities to review note reading and symbols after winter break with New Year color by music worksheets?

I created these worksheets to help elementary music students review core theory concepts at the start of January. The pages work well for independent seatwork, music centers, early finishers, and sub plans. With three differentiated sets—matching symbol to symbol, matching symbol to term, and student-created color keys—you can easily adapt each page to your students' skill levels.

--- WHAT IS INCLUDED? ---

10 designs of this set in three different formats:

• 1 format ~ for younger students – music symbols match the symbols in the picture.
• 2 format ~ for older students – symbols names are given in the color key.
• 3 format ~ students create their own color key.

➤ 14 answer pages.

➤ 10 blank pages to create your own music worksheets for your classroom.
