Emailing a summer note reading game to your students is a great way to keep in contact with studio families.
While a break from piano lessons can be beneficial for students and teachers, it doesn’t come without risks.
Any time students and families are removed from the routine of piano lessons there is always a risk that they may not return.
So, the key to ensuring students return to your studio after a break is to keep in contact. If you take the time to reach out to studio families to share practice tips, a piece of sheet music, or a summer note reading game, families will feel connected and stay committed to piano lessons.
In today’s post, we have a summer note-reading game that your students will be thrilled to receive!
With a focus on bass staff note reading in C position, Shark Bite Bass Staff is a single-player game with easy-to-follow instructions.
Summer Note Reading And Shark-Themed Music
Our summer note-reading game is available at the bottom of the post, but first…
If you teach shark-obsessed piano students, be sure to check out our book, Ludwig van Bites-often Needs A Friend, V. U. Level I (as in i).
This laugh-out-loud piano book follows the adventures of Ludwig van Bites-often; a shark who attempts to shed his fearsome image and find some friends.
It just might be the V. U. Library’s funniest book yet!
Composed in the C Five-Finger Scale, children using this book will gain confidence in playing music with measures that include hands-together stepping notes.
Inside you will discover 8 shark-themed piano pieces with lyrics (including a duet), note-reading games, warm-up exercises, sight-reading activities, a rhythm activity, a practice tracker, and a certificate of achievement.

Shark Bite Bass Staff Instructions
- Click here to download today’s summer note-reading game.
- To begin, the student places one penny (a “fish”) over each orange game square.
- Next, the student chooses a penny, names the note underneath, and then slides the penny along the game squares that contain the matching note. The penny cannot skip over any game squares. For example, if a penny is resting on F on the bass staff, the student slides it from F to F to F.
- Once the student slides the penny onto a square with a black arrow, it is removed from the game board and the “fish” is safe.
- The student repeats Steps 3 and 4 for the remaining pennies on the game board.
