Halloween guitar sheet music - and violin sheet music too!
"Monsters Everywhere" is an easy-to-read song for beginners. Both instrumental parts include a "note guide" to help young note readers make sense of the treble clef.
And yes... there is an arrangement with guitar tablature!

I wrote this slow-moving Halloween song several years ago for piano students.
My goal was not just a cute song, but one that would encourage students to be less timid in their reading - hence, the many repeated notes! The same principle works for guitar and violin.
Beginners aren't usually playing melodies down below middle C, so having such a deep register for this little song makes a nice change, as well as giving them the chance to learn about ledger line notes.
My students and I went to the whiteboard with these violin and guitar Halloween songs and drew the treble staff and the ledger line notes all the way to the lowest note. Then we compared the notes of "Monsters Everywhere" with the notes we had drawn on the board.
Here is the music for early violin, very similar:

Have my guitar and violin students been overwhelmingly delighted with being forced to read standard notation?
Hahahahahaha. No, not exactly. Nevertheless, their note-reading skills are coming along, and I am just a little more concerned about their skills improving than I am about their comfort level with their instrument. I am pleased to see the refinement of their musicianship...
And here is the obligatory guitar version with tablature, for those non-readers:
Have fun!

This is the perfect easy start for little pianists.
And when they start reading white-key notes on the staff, this is a fun easy resource to say each week, "Choose a new black-key song at home this week and figure it out to show me next lesson!" They will be spending more time at the piano.
A perfect read aloud storybook
for little boys or girls.
The Adventures of Tonsta highlight the travels of a very young boy with a good heart, who goes about helping folk in trouble.
With a red cap on his head and a sack of tools slung over his shoulder, Tonsta seems to meet people in distress wherever he goes.
Lots of trolls in this book - including one who gives him a Christmas gift!

Hi, I'm Dana! (Say that like "Anna".) I'm the owner of Music-for-Music-Teachers.com, and a newer site, SingTheBibleStory.com.
Like some of you, I've been playing the piano since early childhood, and have added a few other instruments along the way, plus an interest in arranging and composing music.
