Check out this giant-sized piano keyboard that Laura Lowe made using a bed sheet and permanent markers! I LOVE it! Especially as I work on plans for our pre-piano summer camp, I’m going to keep this in mind and hopefully make one. Don’t you think the little kiddos would have a blast with this?! I also love Laura’s ideas for teaching intervals, and could see using it for scales and chords, too. What fun!

Share and enjoy!
Thanks! Glad you found that post helpful. I’ve really enjoyed my keyboard sheet over the years!
I love it! I made one but it doesn’t look nearly as nice. My daughter said her favorite group lessons activity ever was playing “musical keys” with it. Students each drew a flashcard and walked around the keyboard sheet with music playing. When the music stopped they had to race to place their flashcards on the correct key.
This is a fantastic idea. We’ve used the floor keyboard found on musicmotion.com as I’m not artistic at all (and it’s plastic so you can clean it!) But it’s not as large as this idea and you have to pay more to add more octaves, obviously. What a great visual for little ones.
Thanks for such a great resource.
Natalie,
Thank you so much for sharing this keyboard visual idea. I plan to make one!
Thank you for this great idea! I am doing a ‘pre-piano’ camp this summer and I’m sure that the students will love this.
