In previous years of teaching piano lessons I had a pretty sterile looking piano lesson assignment sheet where I would write lesson notes for my students. It was efficient for me… but it was bland and not the most kid-friendly design. I did often add cute little pictures and use colourful pens, but no matter what I did the page was still boring.
So, I spent some time this summer changing up my piano lesson assignment page; paring it down to what I believed students would actually read in an efficient and simple layout that is visually appealing and much cuter! I’m hoping this will help my piano students to be able to see “at a glance” what they need to be doing at home.
Read on to find out how you can get cute, efficient and seasonally-themed piano lesson assignment sheets that your piano students will happily use at home!
Printable Piano Lesson Assignment Sheets
Every fall I revamp how I organize my piano student’s assignment binders… I’m always thinking about how I can make their assignment books more engaging, more efficient and more… well… used!
We’ve blogged before about creative ideas for assignment books, and if you too are looking to change up what you’re currently using for “back and forth books” you might want to check out the posts below.

If you’d like to use my new assignment sheets you can find them here (colorful version for those who like that and ink-friendly version if you print large quantities of these).
This year I’m going to change these sheets up more frequently to keep the motivational ball rolling.
I’m also going to be creating different sheets for different “categories” of piano students. For instance, one of my little guys took one look at the page I handed him and requested a “Fearless Fortissimo” one instead (our comic-book based piano series for boys)… so if you also have Fearless Fanatics in your studio… here’s an assignment sheet for them too!
Cheers to happy piano binders that are used frequently! Enjoy 🙂

Stephani says
That’s awesome! Thanks. I’m sure I’ll break these out at different points during the year. :-). It will be a nice change of pace.
Dana says
Thank you, Andrea! These are so awesome! I have been looking for some new assignment sheets. You always have such great ideas.
Michelle says
These are so cute! AND so perfect as I had just finished putting up little owls on my practice incentive wall that say, “Piano Practice is a HOOT!”
What a great compliment these will make to that!
Andrea says
Love the tag line Michelle! 🙂
Morgan says
Thank you for all of the resources!
I’d like to see the 5 ways to organize binders, but that link is the same as the previous link. Oops!
Andrea says
Hi Morgan – all fixed thank you! Here’s the link here too https://www.teachpianotoday.com/2014/01/01/starting-off-fresh-begins-with-the-piano-binder/

A couple add-ons to this idea that I’ve found effective. I keep a rainbow of colored pens available and my students choose the color for their lesson notes. I’ve also found it VERY useful, with intermediate and advanced students, to have THEM write the lesson notes. The header is “These are the things I promise to practice this week” —They write it, they deliver!!
Angela says
Too cute! What software do you use to create worksheets, music, etc? I would love to create my own but I don’t know where to start! I’m feeling inspired!
Andrea says
Hi Angela – I have a mac so I use Pages for most of what we do – but we both really enjoy playing with graphics so we use a variety of programs – but mostly Pages.
Arleen says
Thank you for so generously sharing your great ideas with everyone! What is your favorite app, software, website for all of your fabulous graphics….. Or is the artwork your original? Thanks!
Andrea says
Hi Arleen – no definitely not our original artwork (although we did illustrate our Practice and Theory books and the Curious Case of Muttzart and Ratmaninnof by hand!) You can find great illustrations and graphic sets on fotolia.com. I use Pages for most of what we create as I have a mac.
Emilynn says
I love these! Thank you!
connie says
I cannot get these to show up-what am I doing wrong?
Andrea says
Hi Connie – my apologies I just found this comment now. If you can’t open the pdf check two things: 1) that your pop-up blocker is disabled and 2) that you have an up-to-date version of a pdf reader. You can google “Adobe” for a free upgrade. Hope that helps!
Janelle says
Thank you for the cute and colourful teaching aides!
Kim says
Have been using these and love them! Any holiday themed assignment sheets in the works?
I think changing them up will keep my students looking at them, but I am hopeless at creating my own. 🙁 Thank you so much for all the resources that you so generously share!
Andrea says
Hi Kim – absolutely! I was just going to put some Halloween ones up on the blog – I’m going to stack the links to updated sheets under this same post so check back after the weekend for some new ones 🙂
Andrea says
Hi Kim – just to let you know the Halloween themed assignment sheets are up now! If you scroll to the bottom of the post you’ll find 2 versions to have fun with 🙂
Kim says
Thank you so much! 🙂
Roxy says
LUV. As always 🙂 My links seem to both be the same page? Am I missing something?
Andrea says
Hi Roxy – just refresh your browser and you’ll be able to open both versions now 🙂
Roxy says
Thank you!
Sonja says
Thank you so much for these!! My students of all ages & stages love these!
Jennifer says
THank you!! Love the spring assignment page. And we will be starting the Great Bean Race soon!!
Karen says
Once again, you have provided good ideas and creative ways to help! Thank you!
Paula says
Thank you, Andrea! These should help change things up a bit! Just what we needed going into the summer months!
regina says
Love the summer themed assignment sheets! Thank you!!
Andrea says
You’re welcome Regina! Glad you can use them 🙂
Marilyn Brennan says
These are just fabulous! Thank you so much!
Yvonne Chittle says
These are so creative-and cover everything! Thank you!
Julia says
Thanks so much for your immediate help in printing this. I think they will truly add pizzazz to my students assignment sheet instead of the coil bound notebook that I normally use. I plan to print out all the seasons.
Chantal says
do you have colour versions of all of them?
Andrea says
Hi Chantal – no, sorry, we don’t – Most people wanted ink-friendly/cost effective printing so we went with that 🙂
Amy says
The Winter Assignment Page has at the bottom “Piano Game” – whereas all the others read “Review” or “Review Time” – or something like that….
So, all winter we have them play piano games during practice? 😉
Andrea says
Hi Amy – I made that one for teachers who like to send home a note about what piano game they used during the lesson 🙂
Alicia says
Do you have any plain printables? Love the Owl one but I need something for a student with autism that does NOT like “extra” on his page…?
Andrea says
Hi Alicia – not at the moment we don’t, but I’ll try to remember to make one in the future 🙂
Ada says
It’s 2020, and I just found these! Thank you for putting these out. These are by far the cutest and uncluttered practice sheets out there!
Andrea says
So glad you’ll use them 🙂
