By Sharon Wilson. By American Folk Song and Traditional. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Children,Folk,Instructional,Multicultural,Traditional,World. 177 pages. Sharon Wilson #4357191. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565435).The songs in this digital book are ordered by difficulty with the easiest songs presented first. The songs progressively incorporate more challenging rhythms, some requiring rapid chord changes. Each song in this collection is presented in one of three ways as detailed below:
1. Handbells play the melody while the Boomwhackers® keep a steady beat with three-note chords for 1 verse and chorus.
2. Two verses are included: The first verse is "easy" with fewer notes. The second verse is "intermediate" and expands the melody by adding more notes. If you want to learn (practice) only the "easy" verse, an optional ending is provided or it can be skipped to perform the two verses together.
3. Both parts play the melody for one verse beginning with part one (handbells) on the melody and part two (Boomwhackers®) on harmony. After a short interlude, part two plays the melody for the second verse while part one plays harmony. If you want to play only the first verse, an optional ending is provided or it can be skipped to perform the two verses together.
This set of scores uses colored noteheads corresponding to the Boomwhackers® color scheme. If you have a set of bells or tubes with a different color scheme, "Chroma-Notes Stick Ons" can be purchased and applied so the instruments match the Boomwhackers® color scheme. This set of scores is also available (separate purchase) in black and white which will print clearer if you do not have access to a color printer.
Only filled noteheads (quarter and eighth notes) are used so the notes are easier to see (this does not indicate the bells need to be silenced immediately before the next beat). Also, only quarter and eighth rests are used to help visualize the number of beats per measure. Lyrics and chord names are provided as well to aid in the learning and teaching of these songs. Instrument assignment suggestions are provided for each song.
Each of the 20 arrangements in this collection is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.
