A Brand New Resource For Your Music Classroom! GAMES & GROOVES FOR BUCKET BAND, RHYTHM STICKS, AND LOTS OF JOYOUS INSTRUMENTS by John Riggio and Paul Jennings Over the last few years, bucket bands have grown greatly in popularity. Percussion is an ideal way to teach rhythmic concepts and this low-cost percussion ensemble is a great way to feel the joy of group performance without breaking your budget. This unique new product by John Riggio and Paul Jennings is designed for players just beyond beginners, though some or all players can easily adapt the included parts. Unlike some bucket band music, this is written with just one bucket part, intended to be performed on a small to medium-size bucket. If your ensemble has large/bass buckets, they can either play the written part or devise a more bass-like part to add. Every selection features rhythm sticks, though the tracks are designed to work with just buckets, or any combination of the parts provided. These change from tune to tune and include Boomwhackers®, ukulele, cowbell, shaker, guiro, and more. There are two basic types of tunes here, games and game-like tunes, and grooves. The games each stand on their own, and the grooves are short, repetitive, and fun to play, with many repeats. Some songs have multiple tempos to ease learning. And, as you may have learned with other music from Plank Road Publishing and MUSIC K-8, we encourage and permit you to adapt all music to best serve your needs. This unique collection includes: • Grizzly Bear Groove • Buckets Are Forever (A Secret Agent Groove) • Grape Jelly Groove • Divide & Echo • Build-A-Beat • Rhythm Roundabout ...and more! These tracks were produced by John Riggio, who brings you many of Plank Road’s most popular works. As we get closer to the release date, watch our web site for a sample of our recordings of the tunes in this collection. Available Soon – Pre-Order Now!

Beginning with the 9 belt levels (see Reward Belts on page 3), there are 2 strumming songs per level getting gradually more complex as you head toward black belt. There are also several special holiday tunes and a group of optional picking tunes starting in the middle levels. The Teacher’s book is full of ideas to guarantee a successful ukulele unit, as well as a classroom-tested method of working with this extremely motivational system of rewards and reinforcement (see Reward Belts on page 3). Also included at each level are warm-ups and exercises appropriate to the new learning elements. And this thorough method includes special sections on tuning, details on strumming, reading and understanding TAB, as well as playing and mastering chords. It also digs into the best approaches for testing and for organizing and running the essential Dojo Groups and Class Roles. We filled this method with familiar folk songs and other songs that students may already be learning. This way, they are mainly concentrating on improving their technique on the ukulele, learning more chords and progressively more complex strumming. The songs start with one chord and simple patterns and progress logically from there. Here are just a few: Shortnin’ Bread; Chumbara; Lil Liza Jane; Apples And Bananas; Michael Finnegan; On Top Of Old Smoky; Down In The Valley; Oats, Peas, Beans And Barley; When The Saints Go Marching In; Molly Malone; Shenandoah; Deck The Halls; I Have A Little Dreidel; Jingle Bells; and 11 more for a total of 25 tunes! Songs & Excerpts - Some songs are available in two tempos, and most songs include a 1-verse “Test” version of the tracks to make the testing process easier. And of course, one of the most important things you’ll find on our great web site is the extensive group of excerpts to preview the wide array of songs. Add new life to your beginning ukulele classes with Ukulele Karate, a great stand-alone method or a fun supplement to any current method you are using.

See all of the songs available in our Choral Music For Young Voices series on our web site. MusicK8.com Note that songs marked with an * are also available as Singles Reproducible Kits. FIRST RESPONDERS* by Mike Wilson First responders have always been there protecting us from harm, and helping us in times of trouble. Natural disasters, violence, accidents, fire – when it happens, first responders, our guardian angels, are right there. This song was written to honor the sacrifice, courage, compassion, and selflessness they display. Arranged as SSA, this light rock style tune could also be performed in unison if that works better for you. “Worthy of honor. You’re the first in our hearts.” CH-0064 First Responders - SSA Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0064D First Responders - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 CH-0064E First Responders - Downloadable MasterTracks ...... 17.95 THIS IS OUR WORLD* by Teresa Jennings “This is our world. This is our world. Treat it right!” That’s a great message for singers and audiences alike. While this lively song is most effective when performed in three parts, it also works great when sung in unison. Commemorate Earth Day, or just keep the environmental determination alive, with “This Is Our World.” CH-0063 This Is Our World - SSA Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0063D This Is Our World - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0063E This Is Our World - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 FREE AT LAST* by Teresa Jennings Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech, Teresa has created a powerful, thought-provoking song. It begins gently, and builds to a gospel-style chorus that virtually demands that one sing and move along. The superbly authentic recording features three versions of the song: full performance, accompaniment with background vocals (parts 2 and 3), and accompaniment only. This will allow you the most freedom in performance and offer a model for your own singers. This song is a must for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday celebration, for African American History Month, or for any time you want a richly rewarding song for your singers to experience. CH-0062 Free At Last - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0062D Free At Last - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0062E Free At Last - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 JUST ONE CANDLE* by Teresa Jennings This simple anthem to peace and unity inspires messages of cooperation, togetherness, harmony, and brotherhood. For maximum effect, the ending of the work features an orchestrated instrumental section (very playable on the piano as well) that is designed as a candle lighting ceremony, symbolically passing the light from one to one until everyone has light. CH-0061 Just One Candle - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0061D Just One Candle - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0061E Just One Candle - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 GLOW* by Teresa Jennings This bluesy tune is a song of peace, using light (candles) as the metaphor for connection to each other, making it a great piece for a holiday performance, or any time of year. The song is 3-part mixed, but the third part is optional, so it works well as a two part if you prefer. The duet at the beginning is also optional, but adds a beautiful touch if you can do it. CH-0055 Glow - 3-Part Mixed (optional 2-Part) Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0055D Glow - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0055E Glow - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 ARLINGTON* by Karl Hitzemann This 2-part song honors Arlington National Cemetery. It begins simply and reverently with a brass choir. The accompaniment then becomes a stirring full orchestra, which at times features an expressive trumpet solo. The optional second vocal part adds to the drama and the emotion. And at the end, the piece even hints at the famous bugle call “Taps.” CH-0054 Arlington - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0054D Arlington - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0054E Arlington - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 MOLLY MALONE* arr. Karl O’Hitzemann The Irish folk song, “Molly Malone” (also known as “Cockles and Mussels”) is the unofficial anthem of Dublin, Ireland. Our arrangement of this old tune features two vocal parts. You also have the option of using a soloist in several measures.

Mike Wilson This song written by Harry Dacre in 1892 might be better known as “A Bicycle Built For Two.” We’ve created a shorter version here using only the first verse and two choruses. This is a 3-part mixed version for your older groups, and we used a traditional rhythm section and string orchestration as the setting for this barbershop quartet (or trio in this case!) style arrangement. CH-0065 Daisy Bell - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0065D Daisy Bell - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 CH-0065E Daisy Bell - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 THE FOUNTAIN IN THE PARK* by Ed Haley/arr. Mike Wilson Here’s a happy, snappy, song for your intermediate to advanced groups. It is also known as “While Strollin’ Through The Park One Day” or “In The Merry, Merry Month Of May.” We have arranged this SSA version in a barbershop style setting. You’ll hear instrumentation typical of the era, revolving primarily around a piano, clarinet, and strumming banjo. CH-0056 The Fountain In The Park - SSA Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0056D The Fountain In The Park - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0056E The Fountain In The Park - Downloadable MasterTracks...... 17.95 1-800-437-0832 8 FIRST RESPONDERS Includes a special tribute video. by Mike Wilson First responders have always been there protecting us from harm, and helping us in times of trouble.

We’ve even included videos for three songs that were in our first collection, Sing A Song Of Musical Concepts (available below and at MusicK8.com), which are “Forte Piano,” “Every Good Boy Does Fine,” and “Presto Largo.” This invaluable collection includes: • Quarter Note - Here’s a chance to focus on the oh-so-important quarter note. • Ode To The Treble Clef - Your kids will love this ’50s rock ballad about the treble clef. • Major Minor - Perfectly illustrating the difference between a major key and a minor key, this song keeps it simple by using C major and C minor. • Give It A Rest - This light and bouncy tune helps students learn about the quarter rest. • The Cool Bass Clef - Featuring a Fender six-string “bass” guitar, the lyrics tell us that the bass clef is an old-fashioned “F.” They also state the names for the line and space notes. • High Low - This super simple ditty has one purpose: to teach your students to discern between high notes and low ones. While this may seem obvious to most of us, not every kid grasps the concept equally. We have actually had a number of requests to “say it with music.” • FACE - Here’s a short, simple, super easy song you can use to teach your students the names of the spaces of the treble clef. The use of the pertinent notes makes a beautiful F major 7 chord, which was just crying out for some ’50s-style doo-wop guys singing background licks. Lots of fun! • Whacky Do Re Mi - We feel certain that your students will enjoy this updated solfege tutorial best known as “Do Re Mi.” The lyrics are light and a little bit silly, hence easy to remember. It’s great, of course for Boomwhackers®, but since the song is in the key of C, it will work for any C instrument.

SING A SONG OF MUSICAL CONCEPTS by Teresa Jennings and John Riggio Over the last few years, we have done a number of songs in MUSIC K-8 magazine that make it easier to teach the elements of music. The reaction from teachers has been so positive that we wanted to assemble the first group of these clever songs together for schools everywhere. It includes: • Forte Piano - Set in a classical style, this song has the kids literally singing the concept, with the lyrics and dynamics telling the story. • Legato Staccato - What better way to contrast these two concepts than one of Teresa’s cool, fun-to-sing partner songs. Lots of fun! • 4/4 Meter - Take a simple 3-part partner song, set it in the campy style of the Beatles’ “When I’m 64,” and you’ll know all about 4/4 time. • Presto Largo - “Speed metal polka” best describes the presto sections of the piece. Contrast that with a Rachmaninoff-inspired largo. • Every Good Boy Does Fine - This lively pop tune lets your students make up other E, G, B, D, F phrases... or use some of the many we supply. The kids love it! (And learn.) • Crescendo - The last two songs in the collection, while different, are well used as a set. They also require the most subtlety to perform, but the effort is worth it. • Decrescendo - Set in a dramatic minor key and in the style of an Italian opera, this effective tune is the perfect answer to Crescendo. Once you have learned both songs, sing them back to back and try to get more contrast every time. It’s a challenge that will teach the concepts while it builds more musical singers!

Each arrangement is designed like the selections in both Recorder Karate 1 and 2, with a short intro and a testing length for the song. When appropriate, songs are recorded at two tempos. Here are just a few of the songs featured in this very special repertoire book: • Down By The Station - BAG • Good News! - BAG • Kuma San (Mister Bear) - BAG • Señor Squirrel (Hop Old Squirrel) - BAG • Lucy Locket’s Pet Snail “Sparky” - EGA • I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger - EBAG • Shake Them ’Simmons Down - DEBAG • Old Brass Wagon - DEBAG • Dance Of The Jesters (Les Bouffons) - GABC • Barcarolle - GABC ...and more!

So we are pleased and proud to bring you this great collection that expands the offerings for the last four songs in the first book of this very popular recorder method. Arranged and orchestrated by Paul Jennings, these creative settings give you music that can replace existing selections, add new reinforcement offerings, and even give you music that can be used for new rewards beyond the original nine. This collection also gives you a natural bridge into Recorder Karate 2 (see page 18). And the songs are arranged for easy testing. The Recorder Karate Repertoire Book Volume 2 includes: • Oh!

Enter WHITE BELT DOJO. This collection of graded, easy songs is great for your incentive system, like the belt system in our extremely popular method, Recorder Karate (see page 17). The nine songs are all relatively short, with brief intros and endings that make them ideal for testing multiple students or providing good material for early performances. Each song is presented progressively with a nice mix of styles and rhythmic interest. The songs in this collection are presented in 34 different tracks, with several of them presented in multiple tempos or lengths. Included are: • Thunder Hawk - BA • Luna Kahuna - BAG • ACcelerate - AC • Lightspeed Caterpillar - BAG • Bumblebee Bop - B • Renaissance Circle Dance - GABC • Chillaxin’ - BAG • Juba Jump - GABC • Flutter By, Butterfly - BAG You can use this collection many ways. You can, for instance, use these songs to replace any or all of the songs used in your reward method, allowing your students to progress more slowly, but be regularly rewarded for their work. Or, you can let these precede and/or fit between songs in a method, giving special rewards like the two-color belts offered by Plank Road Publishing (see page 20).

That’s why we were so pleased to feature her in each issue of RECORDER CLASSROOM magazine with a series of richly developed columns about how she integrated recorders into the fabric of her fabulous program at Bear Lake. In this kit, we combine these great resources for teachers everywhere. As a matter of fact, there is so much content here that we have broken it into two jam-packed volumes. The Teacher’s Handbook is the heart of the kit, and its many sections take you step-by-step through Artie’s program as it has evolved in the more than 20 years she has been developing it. Beyond basic technique there are sections on air production and management, instrument selection and care, repertoire, and so much more. More than text... In addition to the narrative, this kit features other specific resources, including games and activities for teaching and retention, as well as online masters to let you print and produce cards, forms, and other resources needed for the activities.

Recorder Dude by Norm Sands Sometimes holding your own recorder in front of your students to demonstrate a fingering just doesn’t cut it – especially if you are working in a large classroom, on stage, or with a big group. Likewise, using a larger recorder (such as a tenor) doesn’t help much either because, while the recorder is larger, your fingers are still the same size. Enter Recorder Dude! Originally developed by Norm Sands for RECORDER CLASSROOM magazine, Recorder Dude stands 31 inches tall – perfect for demonstrating fingerings to your students. Once you assemble this handy visual aide, you will use it for years. This kit includes the foam (preprinted and ready to cut out), Velcro® dots, and complete, easy-to-follow instructions to make your very own Recorder Dude.

Part 2 also puts a bit of emphasis on intervals and could be sung in a head voice. • Partner Warm-Up #5 - This warm-up focuses on breath support mostly. • Partner Warm-Up #6 - Exercise the tongue and mouth using the scat syllables “dee” and “deet.” • Partner Warm-Up #7 - The lively 6/8 style is amplified by the fact that the lyrics are lighthearted.

And for extra fun, we have also included the crazy Sightless Rodent Chaser. • Shalom Chaverim - Karl has created a soulful arrangement that presents this round in Hebrew and English. • Classical Wave - How many rounds come with movements?
