This sheet music is arranged for a one octave,
13-note chromatic scale Boomwhackers® choir with Piano accompaniment. The piano provides an introduction then the Boomwhackers® play the melody and occasional 2-part harmony. An optional repeat and second ending is included in case a longer song is desired.
Included in this set of scores is a combined score with both instruments (Boomwhackers® and Piano) on a grand staff plus a separate color-coded score for the Boomwhackers®. The color-coded Boomwhackers® score uses the
"Chroma-Notes Colored Music System." If you have a set of tubes with a different color scheme,
"Chroma-Notes Stick Ons" can be purchased and applied so the Boomwhackers® match this color scheme.
A color-coded note chart is also provided showing the Boomwhackers® notes used for this arrangement as well as the number of times each note is played. The note distribution is helpful when assigning notes to whackers. You may want to assign fewer notes to beginners or evenly distribute the tubes between all whackers.
The color-coded score is enlarged so the colors are easier to distinguish and all sharps and flats are displayed (shown in the key of C) as reminders for beginning whackers. Also, only filled noteheads (quarter and eighth notes) are used so the notes are full color and easier to see.
Other suggestions and uses:
* use multiple sets of Boomwhackers® to amplify the sound and allow more people to enjoy whacking the tubes
* use as part of the music education for children at school, home, or church
* these colorful, inexpensive instruments can be enjoyed by all ages and add a fun, unique element to activities and programs: senior centers, family reunions, church retreats, home school groups, just to name a few
Permission is granted to make up to 10 copies of each score. For more than 10 copies, please purchase additional sets.
