Piano Worksheet: Analyze Happy Birthday

by Kristin

Piano worksheet: analysis of Happy Birthday

You can help kids become great improvisers on the piano. Piano improv is a skill that can be learned. What do you need to know to be successful? Music theory and how to apply it.

After kids have learned how to play Happy Birthday by ear, you can help them analyze the song with this worksheet.


Activities like this worksheet help kids really understand how music works. They see how music theory is applied to create a familiar melody. They also begin to see how they can apply these same principles to their own compositions and improv.






This piano worksheet is intended for kids who are at an intermediate level of music theory.

The worksheet covers:

  • Determining which key a song is played in
  • Writing key signatures
  • Identifying the primary chords
  • Scale degrees
  • Intervals
  • Adding chords to harmonize a melody


  • When you’re finished you can check your answers with the Analyze Happy Birthday answer key.


    Kids will be excited to learn from Happy Birthday because it’s a song they’ll have tons of opportunities to play. Give this activity a try and let me know how it goes!
