Pre-writing Worksheets for Music Class | Alien Theme

Looking for a simple way to practice fine motor skills and early notation with music pre-writing worksheets?

I created these alien-themed tracing pages to help young beginners develop pencil control before writing standard notation. They work well for music centers, independent work, sub plans, and early finishers.

The activities progress from basic lines and shapes to music symbols on a five-line staff. Guide boxes and dashed lines keep tracing manageable for little hands.

--- WHAT IS INCLUDED? ---

16 printable worksheets (19 .pdf pages).

• TRACE IT!: 12 worksheets where students trace preparatory strokes, shapes, notes, rests, clefs, and dynamics within guided boxes.

✨ Symbols used: whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, beamed eighth notes, sixteenth notes, whole rests, half rests, quarter rests, eighth rests, treble clef, bass clef, f (forte), p (piano).
