Finnegan's Folly
From Plank Road Publishing
by John RiggioHere's a fun body percussion tune for your class. And in Celtic style, no less! Perfect for your St. Patrick's Day celebration, or any time, it uses five methods of percussion for your students: patsching, clapping, stomping, snapping, and drumming on desks. The audio tracks use fiddle and bodhrán for that Celtic flavor, then add strings on the repeat. The only vocal line in the song is when performers yell, "Hey!" on the very last note, but if you'd prefer no vocals at all this can be omitted. (from Music K-8, Vol. 31, No. 4)
