We Wish You A Whacky Christmas

From Plank Road Publishing

arr. Teresa Jennings, Paul Jennings, John Riggio, and Karl Hitzemann

We sure have had a lot of fun working with Boomwhackers®. And apparently, we're not the only ones. Since we began publishing music for these colorful, pitched plastic tubes, we have found them to be a real classroom favorite. Kids of all ages really think they're cool and fun to play, and teachers really love the enthusiasm and interest they spark in their students.

One of our most popular Boomwhacker® collections has been A Boomwhacker® Christmas. So, by popular demand, the creative writers at Music K-8 have created We Wish You A Whacky Christmas. It's a whole new collection of seasonal songs for Boomwhackers® and other joyous instruments.

All of the arrangements are carefully structured to work with young players, and while all are designed to work with one or more sets of Diatonic Boomwhackers® (C Major or Bass), some arrangements offer the option for the Chromatic Add-ons or have optional second parts to include more players and expand learning possibilities. (Be sure to check out a new way to play your Boomwhackers® - see Boomwhacker Central.) All of the songs are included on the Performance/Accompaniment CD, though some can easily be performed with just Boomwhackers® and simple classroom percussion. As you would expect from Plank Road Publishing, the recordings are of the highest quality, featuring world-class performers playing real instruments.

• Angels We Have Heard On High
• The Holly And The Ivy
• Over The River
• We Wish You A Whacky Christmas
