Spooky Halloween Piano Tunes from Will Baily

 I've been prepping Halloween folders for my piano students and decided to add a few new options in addition to many of the free music Halloween music that are listed on my Free Halloween Piano Resources Page.  When I compiled folders to send home last month with Will Baily's Piano Tunes, so many students came back eager to perform their favorites at group lessons.

Following are a few "spooky sounding" pieces that I'll be adding to their Halloween piano folders although they aren't necessarily made for that holiday.
