Cup O' Mocha
by John RiggioHere's a happy piece that can be used with your Boomwhacker® or mallet ensemble. We've created a simple part for your students and let our studio musicians do the heavy lifting. The result here is a sophisticated and upbeat sound that your students can be a part of. The rhythms aren't too complex, just half notes and quarter notes, with a rolled whole note in the penultimate measure. When we record these pieces, we use standard diatonic and bass Boomwhackers® to fill out the sound, which means you're always hearing two octaves at once, so don't be afraid to do the same. In addition to the Boomwhacker®/percussion part, the kit includes a reduced score for the piece. (from Music K-8, Vol. 19, No. 3)
