Free Resource: "Can we play Happy Birthday?!"

Free Resource: Happy Birthday for Beginning Band

Welcome to Free Resource Friday... the first Friday of every month, we'll give you something to help make your life a little easier teaching young instrumental ensembles!

Raise your hand if you have ever had students request to play Happy Birthday to celebrate their special day... we have! Recognizing birthdays and having the ability to pull out the music on demand can be a great way to have your students bond with each other and put a smile on everyone’s face! 

It only seemed fitting that July 4th, would be the perfect opportunity to include this resource -- Happy Birthday arranged for your young ensemble! Like every YourScore product, you have the ability to drop this file into any notation software and easily edit it to suit your musical needs. This school year, download and print this accessible arrangement and learn immediately...then pull it out of those band folders to celebrate!

We've included the melody for all instruments, and then a full arrangement, including percussion. Enjoy, and have fun celebrating!
