Strum it Up! from Sandy Lantz and Gretchen Wahlberg. Just released!

New Release from Beatin' Path Publications, LLC
Strum it Up! - 21 Soprano Ukulele Pieces in Orff Style
(Book BPP-SGSIU)
By Sandy Lantz and Gretchen Wahlberg

Ukuleles are a beautiful addition to elementary music classrooms. By playing ukuleles, students learn about chord progressions, develop vocabulary, and accompany vocal and instrumental melodies. The ukulele’s timbre supports the child’s voice, often allowing students to hear and sing harmony more accurately with ukulele accompaniment. Such experiences promote independent musicianship; many students purchase their own ukulele and enjoy playing at home, even beyond their elementary years.

This collection is a perfect addition to your Orff music classroom. Each piece has a full orchestration and most have teaching suggestions for adding movement.

Suggested retail price for this new book is $24.95. School and dealer discounts are available, just give us a call!

“As with recorder instruction, we believe ukuleles should be integrated with other classroom instruments, and in this book, you nd orchestrations with barred instruments, unpitched percussion, and recorder. Some lessons include creative movement and improvisation. Keep in mind these lessons may span several class

sessions.” - Sandy and Gretchen
