November Note Detective

Turkey Sightreading Activity | November Note Detective | Thanksgiving Piano Worksheets

Bring a little Thanksgiving fun to your November piano lessons with November Note Detective! These printable piano worksheets challenge students to compare two nearly identical melodies, identify the note that changed, and find a specific musical interval.

Each pair of turkeys contains two four-note melodies. Three notes are identical, but one is different! Students circle the changed notes, write their note names, and color the turkey containing the correct interval.

 

Four Levels Included:

• Primer Level [Middle C Position notes]: Identify skips
• Level 1 [C Pentascale notes]: Identify intervals of a 4th
• Level 2 [G Pentascale notes]: Identify intervals of a 5th
• Level 3 [All notes on the staff]: Identify intervals of a 6th

Three Ways to Use These Worksheets:

1. Music Theory & Note Reading: Students compare the melodies, identify the changed notes, write their note names, and find the requested interval.
2. Sightreading: Have students play both melodies, compare what they see and hear, and decide which version they prefer.
3. Ear Training: Play one melody from each pair without letting students see your hands. Students listen carefully and identify which turkey matches what they heard.

With four levels to choose from and multiple ways to use each worksheet, November Note Detective is a fun way to reinforce note reading, interval recognition, sightreading, and ear training during your Thanksgiving piano lessons.
