Introducing Note Reading to Pre-Reading Students, Part 2

Well, life has been totally crazy, but I want to quickly share a NEW (FREE) printable piece of sheet music!  This particular piece is written for an easy, simple violin duet.  Which piece is it, you ask?  Hot Cross Buns!  It doesn't get much simpler than that.  The first violin part uses fingers, while the second violin uses open strings only, and both parts stay on the A and E strings.

I have two versions available: one with staff lines, and one (even simpler and easier to read) without staff lines.  How does that work without staff lines?  And why?  Just check out my post about a simple step you can take in teaching note reading so it's not overwhelming.  The no-staff-lines approach is meant to be a temporary stepping stone for very young, pre-reading students who are transitioning to note reading.

So, here you go!  Enjoy!
