If you can read it rhythmically, you will be stronger musically." That's the premise of this focused songbook, Shakin' It Up! Join well-known composers Sally K. Albrecht and Jay Althouse as they introduce you and your students to 10 popular rhythm band instruments. Each of the 10 songs in this collection features a different rhythm band instrument: shakers, castanets, rhythm sticks, cymbals, triangle, woodblock, drum, maracas, sandpaper blocks and tambourine. Have some students sing, some play along-then trade! Everyone can get in on the learning and the fun!
