This piano coloring page is a really fun way to learn more about the piano! If you’re considering signing up your preschooler for piano lessons, this piano keyboard coloring page is a great introduction to the instrument and to the notes. It’s also a neat way to learn more about an instrument, even if piano lessons aren’t on your mind at the moment.
This piano notes coloring page is free — and encourages kids to color each note in a different color. It’s like a color by number activity, except it’s more of a color by letter page! So, whether you’re coloring “just because” or coloring as a way to learn your piano notes, this piano coloring page will hit all the right notes. Either way, it will help develop your child’s fine motor skills, which will help them with reading and writing. Color by numbers also help children with hand-eye coordination, which is a visual motor skill, as well as focus, concentration, and number (or letter) identification.
This piano coloring sheet was originally made to go with the book 88 Instruments, written by Chris Barton and illustrated by Louis Thomas. In the book, the piano plays a big role but, as the title implies, there are quite a few other instruments and string instruments too. We’ve also used this piano coloring page with the book The Bear and the Piano, written and illustrated by David Litchfield.
Does your preschooler know all of their string instruments? Here’s a cheat sheet to the string family of instruments if you want to see how many you and your child can name correctly? If piano is definitely your instrument, check out this humongous sidewalk chalkboard piano activity in our book-inspired play section.
While we love the piano and we have a piano in our home… we’re big woodwind fans here! Rosie’s dad is a professional clarinetist and an online woodwind teacher for kids and adults. We hear a lot of different types of music every day, and, ironically, the same chunks of clarinet music over and over (and over again). As you might imagine, musicians have to practice a lot. They don’t always practice the whole musical score. In fact, they tend to focus on a specific piece at a time!
