This resource of the Thanksgiving classic, Over the River and Through the Wood, includes parts for Boomwhackers, bells, and ukulele. Each part has audio and video files to support student learning AND in two different tempos-lento and adagio. Students learn about beats per minute (bpm) as they play their parts.

Play and learn in class or use it as a wonderful performance piece for winter concerts!

Music objectives include:

6/8 meter and common rhythms
tempo markings
treble clef notation for melody
ukulele chords C, D7, F, and G7
classic American song repertoire
ensemble playing
