Ocean Animals Music Coloring Pages & Worksheets | Color by Notes and Rests

Make music theory practice a little more colorful with these Ocean Animals Color by Notes and Rests Worksheets! This printable set combines 6 music notation worksheets with 15 ocean-themed coloring activities. Students identify, trace, draw, and name notes and rests while completing fun sea animal pictures. With three difficulty levels, these activities are easy to adapt for beginning music students, independent practice, music centers, early finishers, and no-prep sub plans.

I love using coloring activities when my students need a break from traditional music theory exercises. They can work at their own pace while reviewing familiar symbols, and the ocean pictures make the practice feel more like a game.

This set includes:

6 notes and rests music worksheets:

~ 1p. ~ Anchor Chart
