Product Description

December music classes can be challenging, especially in the days following your holiday concert.  This is a collection of lessons and activities based on nine familiar Christmas carols. Each song is notated for vocals, a soprano recorder in two parts, Boomwhackers® in two parts, a variety of percussion instruments, and chords provided for ukulele or guitar. All parts can be used together and also work in any combination. Each song comes with a vocal track and an orchestrated accompaniment track. A slower accompaniment track is given for Boomwhacker® play-alongs. The Projectables include colored Boomwhacker® notation, lyrics, and chords for ukulele (guitar), recorder and percussion music to project.

Reproducible and Projectable lyrics are included so the songs could be used in a performance or a school holiday sing-along. The activities include naming notes, writing notes, recognizing rhythms, and creating new melodies, as well as fun games and word puzzles based on the lyrics of the carols and the song information.
