Free Music Note Shaped Word Search Activity
Two musical notes joined by a beam, the symbol you see on sheet music, make the outline of this music word search. The 12 words hidden in it cover instruments, like the piano, the guitar, the violin and the drums, and the ideas behind every song: rhythm, tempo, chords, harmony and lyrics, all the way to the orchestra and the concert.
The note heads at the bottom are round and wide, the stems are single columns and the beam across the top is a long slanted strip, so the words are spread all over the shape. It is a nice warm-up before music class.
