  • Music K-8 Marketplace 2021 Spring Update Catalog
    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.

  • Catalogue 2020/21
    CATALOGUE 2020/21 Masters of precision Symphony of Precise Measurements The intricacy of the science world is reminiscent of a music performance. As in music, a masterpiece performance calls for accuracy in each note played - in science, the precision of measurements used in research can lead either to a great discovery or a fruitless quest. CAPP recognised this at the earliest stages in its development and committed itself to only one task - designing pipettes that will be the most precise instruments in the industry, without compromise. By introducing adjustable volume pipettes that can also be used with removable fixed volume knobs, we created a pinnacle of accuracy that is widely used in many reference laboratories worldwide. There is no longer a reason to use multiple fixed volume pipettes as a frame of reference. Now you can have one CAPP pipette with separate specific fixed volume controllers for use in most critical applications. The construction of each CAPP pipette has a shared story; a tale of artistry of the hands which gave it shape, of careful material selection, of dedicated care and patience. Each pipette is individually produced and tested by a highly skilled master. It is the passion of these masters of precision at CAPP who give each product that very special characteristic: a soul. As we are looking into the future, we are focusing on delivering a full line of liquid measurement instruments of the same robust design and highest standard of precision that made CAPP pipettes the instrument of choice in many critical laboratories worldwide. We invite you to experience the symphony of precise measurements as powerful as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and as enjoyable as Mozart’s Minuets.
