|description = A small, saddle-stitched booklet is shown on a wooden surface. The booklet is titled "Decemberweenvent Calendar" in a large banner. Tiny versions of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad race across the keys of a real-life, worn-down piano keyboard.

The top corners show that this is the Scales of an Artist Beginner Piano Series produced by [[Cheap As Free]] Music. A caption in the center reads, "New H*R sheet music everyday!"

Along the bottom are two rows of numbers. All but the first number were dimmed upon first release and lit up one-by-one as the month progressed. Clicking a lit number opens up the booklet to the sheet music for that day, which also features characters and diagrams.

|description = The King of Town stands alone with his arms across his chest, tongue sticking out, moved to tears with some emotion, or possibly choking.

Pom Pom, Homestar Runner, and Marzipan stand in a group in the center. Homestar and Marzipan are looking pleasantly at each other while Pom Pom has a neutral or unimpressed expression.

A keyboard is featured with the white keys labeled "C D E F G A B C". A caption above it reads, "Remember the keys this a-way: 'Crispy Duck Eggs For Goodness And Badness, Champ!'"

Coach Z and Bubs stand at the far right with happy expressions and their arms across each other's shoulders.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's useless! You can't suck on that and swish it around in your mouth until it turns into, like, a pudding goo and then spit it onto marshmallows!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{offscreen}'' That doesn't mean I can't try!

''{The page flips and the song plays; afterward, it returns to the cover page}''
|description = Homsar stands with one arm across his midsection and one arm raised, belting out a note. The Stave It Off Guy is seated on a stool with his stringless guitar and looks on, impressed.

To the right, three left hands showing one, two, and three fingers are accompanied by the caption "Use your staving fingers to play this kids' learn'em<!--sic--> up song!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Isn't the theme from Doug the Dino just you yelling "DINOSAUR"?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' IT'S MY GREATEST COMPOSITION!

''{The page flips and the song plays; afterward, it returns to the cover page}''
|description = Strong Bad, dressed as an art painter wearing a smock and a beret, stands next to an easel with an S drawn on it. He holds a paintbrush in his right glove and a pizza in his left glove. The pizza vaguely resembles a paint palette.

A keyboard is shown with "Middlin' C" labeled. Above it is the caption "How to play piano with boxing gloves on". Dashed lines show the outline of where the gloves should go and are labeled "Left-O" and "Right-O".

At the far right is a mostly full canister of Taster's Choice instant coffee.

At the top left is a large beard resembling those worn by ZZ Top.

In the center is a makeshift tent made of a dark blue suit jacket and a stick.

At the top right is a guitar with a wedding veil on its headstock.

At the far right is a suitcase covered in labels and stuffed full of bricks. One brick sits next to the suitcase and another protrudes from it.

|description = The Homestar Runner dances with one leg raised and crossed over the other. He smiles broadly, showing a missing tooth. The word "SOUP" is faintly visible on his clothing. 

A dancing chart is featured with numbered outlines of feet and a hand connected by a jumbled mess of dotted arrows. Above it is the caption "The Well-Folks-You-Know-What-That-Means Shuffle".

Stinkoman stands mouth agape with one glove on his hip and one arm and one leg raised.

''{The page flips and the song plays; afterward, the artwork changes to a Far Side version with a splat; after a pause, it returns to the cover page}''
|description = In the top left, The Jolly Dumple stands. He gains a blue nose, top hat, and legs. Holds a golf club and pennant that says "DUMP".

Next to him is the same frog from day 4 wearing a straw boater hat and holding a phone.

Above the title are arms that hold up pieces of paper that say the letters C, N, G, and U in order.

In the top right, a tuba with eyes is screaming.

The Far Side version shows the exact same thing done in the style of the {{w|The Far Side|Far Side}} comics. A speech bubble above the Dumple reads "Science! I said science again!"

To the right, the 3D Shield Guy, who now has his spikes arranged in a mohawk hairstyle, as well as a face with an angry expression, deflects a cube from Vector Strong Bad, who now has large purple lips and a tongue.

Marshie hovers near a stack of five marshmallows, showing a toothy grin. Three yellow stars are near the missing chunk of his head.

A diagram shows a left hand with marshmallows stuck to the end of all five fingers playing a keyboard with the caption "Try the Puffety Technique!"

To the right is Pinner, wearing the familiar bowler hat and eye patch, sitting on a plate, smoking a cigar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh, that's mine. It's a bookmark.

''{The song plays; afterward, it returns to the cover page}''
|description = At the bottom left is the smiling ghost of Credenza, drawn with broken lines except for the face.

At the top left a roll of toilet paper and an egg look at each other and smile. A little less than a square's worth of the roll hangs free and the egg has no shell.

At the top right is a carved pumpkin that vaguely resembles Homestar Runner with triangle eyes. A pair of leaves form the beanie propellers. Coming out of its wide mouth are pumpkin seeds that resemble spittle.

Covering all of the bass staff of measure 4, the first note of the bass staff of measure 5, and the first half of the treble staff of measure 8 is an irregular smudge of real-life melted chocolate. A bright red foil wrapper has been flattened and is visible through the chocolate in various places.

|description = Reynold, Silent Rip, and Gunhaver stand facing Blue Laser Commander. They all resemble cheetahs drawn like Snagglepuss. Reynold wears a pale green-blue shirt with his familiar red tie and nervously looks away with a paw to his mouth. Silent Rip holds his left paw up. Gunhaver points sharply at Blue Laser Commander and seems to be loudly saying something. Blue Laser Commander looks back at them with a defiant expression.

|description = Strong Bad is behind the wheel of a conversion van, grinning maniacally. The Cheat sits terrified in the passenger seat, his arms clutching the dashboard and seeming to protrude through the van's windshield. The frog from days 4 and 6 is holding on to the rear bumper for dear life.

The van has a camper top, stripes along the front and side, and a large, airbrushed mural on the side depicting Trogdor breathing fire in a thunderstorm.

In the foreground is a medium-sized square chest with a brass handle, edges, and corners. It is glowing brightly, radiating light in all directions.

Strong Bad covers Homestar's face with a sticker featuring the frog from days 4, 6, and 14. The frog is hugging a smartphone contentedly. The caption on the sticker reads "So Hoppy Together!"

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*An {{w|Advent calendar}} is used to count the days of {{w|Advent}} in anticipation of Christmas.
* '''Days 1 and 10:''' {{w|Mnemonic}} phrases are often used to memorize the order of various musical elements, like "Every Good Boy Does Fine" for the "E G B D F" of the treble clef lines.

===Trivia===
*All of the sheet music is written in 4/4 time and no listed key signature, and is played on a piano.
*This is the first Decemberween-themed content since [[Decemberween Dangeresque]], five years prior.

===Remarks===
* The [[Decemberweenvent Calendar Character Variations|drawing style]] throughout the booklet is more stylized than normal, with most characters [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|gaining noses]] and some [[Lack of Visible Arms|gaining arms]], and being drawn in a style loosely resembling [https://kjos.com/piano/methods/bastien-piano-basics.html Bastien Piano Basics].
* A {{w|Bookbinding#Stitched or sewn binding|saddle-stiched booklet}} should show the staples on the inside only on the center spread, around day 12.
* Most of the song titles come from the [[Homestar Runner Original Soundtrack]]s.
* Prior to day 12, only the intro for that day ever played, and that day's page had to be manually clicked. Beginning with day 12, the current day's intro loads and plays that day's sheet music automatically. The intros for the other days now play when clicking on their respective days, and can be skipped by clicking again on the "Skip" button that results.
* '''Day 1:''' The keyboard keys are clickable, but do nothing.
* '''Day 2:''' The instructions say to "use your staving fingers to play this kids' [[X 'em up|learn'em<!--sic--> up]] song".
* '''Day 3:''' The instructions show [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how to play piano with boxing gloves on]].
* '''Day 4:''' On days 5–11, Strong Sad still said his line after the song was played, even though the relevant line that preceded it didn't play on the later release days. Beginning with the day 12 update, the relevant line was included.
* '''Day 6:''' The letters on the illustration are in the order C-N-G-U, when the school is [[Crazy Go Nuts University]], or CGNU.
* '''Days 7–10:''' Despite Strong Bad's assertion, his inflection on his line is slightly (and then not-so-slightly) different each day.
* '''Day 10:''' Senor Cardgage's wrestling mask is portrayed as being painted on and he has real hands (one of which is holding a boxing glove).
[[File:3job clean.png|thumb|I can count to G.]]
* '''Day 11:''' There is only a single note that is covered up by Homestar's "bookmark".  The fourth measure of the bass line simply consists of rests, while the fifth measure begins with a half note G below low C.
* '''Day 12:''' Though the "back to menu" button disappears when the Cheat Commandos scene slides in, it is still clickable.
* '''Day 14:''' Unlike previous days the song only partially repeats, ending after the fourth measure.  However, it is missing the appropriate notation for {{w|List of musical symbols#Repetition and codas|repetition and codas}}.
* '''Day 15:'''
** The lyrics are crammed in where the words go quickly.
** The song is in a different key {{--}} F major rather than C major {{--}} from the version of the song in [[flag day]]. However, the chord progression at the end, F to C, remains the same, resulting in a different cadence: I{{-}}V instead of the {{w|plagal cadence}} IV{{-}}I.
* '''Day 16:''' The sixteenth notes in measures 1, 3, 9, and 11 should be notated as swing eighths.

===Goofs===
* "New H*R sheet music everyday" should be "every day".
* Beginning with day 12, when the toon first loads, the transparency on the circle behind the current day is more opaque than the other circles. After the toon finishes and returns to the cover page, its opacity matches the rest of the circles.
* In {{prs|1602670817552531458|12|13|2022|alt=a tweet}}, Strong Bad blamed any issues with the sheet music on the "weirdos at [[Cheap As Free]] Music". He bemoaned his appearance in the booklet and said that "any mistakes are just the musical equivalent of adding human noses.".
* '''Day 3:'''
** The repeat sign is not vertically aligned to the staff.
** The first three notes should be pickups to the first measure. Instead, the first beat of each measure is written as the third beat of the measure, and the notation rhythm is therefore displaced by two beats..
* '''Day 9:''' Several times two notes are written together, but played separately as a grace note.
* '''Day 12:'''
** In both instances where two notes are played together, there should instead be separate grace notes.

===Fixed Goofs===
* '''Day 12:''' "Probably" was misspelled "probaby". This was fixed with the next update.

===Inside References===
*The calendar is entitled "Scales of an Artist", after [[Skills of an Artist]].

* '''Day 3:'''
** Strong Mad mentions his stop-motion movie ''[[Doug the Dino]]'' from [[the facts]] (which incidentally did have BGM beyond Strong Mad yelling).
** Strong Bad says that he will look for baking [[chocolate]]. Strong Sad says that he used to eat baking chocolate when there was no chocolate in the house in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
**The "S" drawn on the canvas and the label on the canister of coffee grinds that says "Taster's Choice" both refer to [[dragon]].
*'''Day 4:''' 
** The images relate to previous audio clips heard from [[Caleb Rentpayer]] throughout the series:
*** The beard is a reference to Tuxworth telling Caleb he can't grow a ZZ Top beard in [[winter pool]].
*** The jacket tent and suitcase full of bricks are from the show's appearance in [[Bug in Mouth Disease]].
*** The guitar with a wedding veil refers to Caleb attempting to marry his guitar, as heard in [[secret recipes]].
** Strong Sad previously mentioned that he "needed some doom and gloom" in [[Happy Hallow-Day]].
*'''Day 5:''' Stinkoman is depicted alongside The Homestar Runner, referring to when both danced together in [[20X6 vs. 1936]]. "The Well-Folks-You-Know-What-That-Means Shuffle" also references this.
*'''Day 6:''' The amoeba Dumple says, "Science! I said science again!" as Homestar did when Strong Bad tried to get him to say something smart in [[stupid stuff]].
*'''Day 7:''' The computer that Videlectrix Two is working at is very similar to the [[Tandy 400]].
*'''Day 8:''' The [[Peanut Strong Bad]] action figure oozes radioactive goo like Strong Bad's hypothetical action figure.
**The croissant represents Strong Bad saying his action figure would be armed with Chinese throwing croissants.
**The pile of pancakes represents that Strong Bad wished his action figure would smell like [[hotcakes]].
*'''Day 9:''' 
**The pile of marshmallows with the eyepatch, [[bowler hat]] and [[smoking|cigar]] is Pinner, from [[Meet Marshie]].
**Marshie is also seen stacking marshmallows, an idea first introduced in [[Malloween Commercial]].
*'''Day 10:''' [[Senor Cardgage]] is holding a fast food bag with a chicken leg printed on it, referencing when he asked for Chick-fil-A in [[Senor Mortgage]].
*'''Day 12:''' [[Blue Laser Commander]]'s plan to blow up the ocean and his line "I just hate you so much!" come from the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon.
*'''Day 13:''' The [[Teen Girl Squad]] gets "WHOLESOME[['D]]!", each responding with an "[[Ow! My X!]]" line.
*'''Day 14:'''
**Strong Sad's offscreen "I thought ''I'' was..." line was first used in [[Mario Paint Thursdays]].
**Strong Mad previously mentioned a "glowy box" in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*'''Day 16:'''
** Strong Bad, who once said he would never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about [[Sibbie]], now wonders if they'll do one for the calendar.
** The song he did "write" was essentially him chanting set to a drum beat, which he supposes wouldn't translate to the piano very well because it doesn't have any notes (although "I Freakin' Hate Sibbie!" did have a few).

===Real-World References===
* '''Day 1:''' {{w|Lego}} has produced Advent calendars, each with 24 doors containing a minifigure or a simple small set, annually since 1998. Recent years have seen multiple calendars released each year, with themes such as [[George Lucas|Star Wars]].
* '''Day 4:''' [[Strong Sad]] mentions he needs "Dickensian" Holiday doom and gloom, referencing author [[Charles Dickens]]. His description of "a stovepipe hat full of gruel, poor air quality, and inhumane working conditions" specifically reflect ''{{w|A Christmas Carol}}'', an iconic Dickens novella whose {{w|Adaptations of A Christmas Carol|adaptations}} have become popular Christmas traditions.
* '''Day 6:''' ''{{w|The Far Side}}'' is a single-panel comic that features absurdist humor and is notable for its depiction of anthropomorphic amoebas and cows, cavemen, and science. For many years, creator Gary Larson produced a yearly tear-off calendar that contained a ''Far Side'' cartoon for each day of the year. Homestar Runner mentions a ''Far Side'' daily calendar on the cover page, and the artwork changes on the sheet music to a ''Far Side'' style after the song finishes playing.
* '''Day 12:''' Blue Laser Commander talks and acts like the [[Hanna-Barbera]] character {{w|Snagglepuss}}, while Reynold similarly acts like {{w|Boo-Boo Bear}}.
