Hoppin' Guy
From Plank Road Publishing
by Teresa Jennings/arr. Paul JenningsThe star of this song is a lively and energetic bunny who just has to hop! The song could be used for a spring or Easter program, though it does not specify anything that would limit it to those occasions. The lyrics and melody are quite simple, so you could use this with younger kids with no problem. Ample opportunity for movement is given throughout the song.
This is a big band jazz piece that would be a great listening lesson, as well. Instrumentation includes drums, piano, acoustic upright bass, acoustic arch top guitar, 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, and 2 horns. (from Music K-8, Vol. 15, No. 4)
