St. Patrick’s Day Music Listening Glyph | Worksheet Pack

I launched a new store on TeachersPayTeachers.com as a secondary outlet to sell my elementary music education products, and decided to get things started with a resource for St. Patrick's Day that included a funny little leprechaun. I sketched him up in pencil and then turned him into a digital image.

What’s a Listening Glyph?
Glyphs are images that communicate facts about stuff. Listening glyphs provide young music students with a way to share what they are hearing in the music they are listening to – even if they can’t read yet.

St. Patrick’s Day Music Listening Gylph
The listening glyph is available on TeachersPayTeachers.com if you're interested in finding out a little more about the worksheet pack.

Here's the image I had before:

Free Music Flash Cards | Treble and Bass Clef

I've been redesigning a few of the printable resources on my elementary education music site, MakingMusicFun.net. One of the first resources in this round of upgrades was the free printable flashcards sets. My original design was all in purple. It worked well, but I thought some eye-popping color and a stronger design might work even better.

Here's the results:
