A fun and funky boomwhacker arrangement of “Firework” by Katy Perry!
Boomwhackers are such a fun and engaging way to reinforce a variety of musical elements such as rhythm, steady beat, playing melodies and introducing harmonies.
- Boomwhackers required for this song
- Red (C), Orange (D), Yellow (E), Green (F), Teal (G), Purple (A), Pink (B) out of a standard diatonic set.
- There are multiple parts to play
- Decide how to assign parts: assign parts yourself or let the clients choose their colors
- There are three main sections: Verse, Chorus and Bridge. They are ostinatos, so keep repeating them for your desired length.
- Feel free to mix and match the different parts, or make up your own to add on!
- Teach the song!
- Teach one part at a time, demonstrating as necessary.
- Once clients have a feel for their individual part, begin adding in multiple parts at the same time at a rate that the group can follow along with based on their specific needs.
- Play the song together.
- Take as many sessions of practicing parts as your clients need before attempting the song all together.
- When you feel your clients are ready, play all together, everyone with their designated part.
- Commemorate this “performance” of the piece by recording so your clients can listen back to the product of their practicing.
- You may also choose to make a copy for each client to keep to remember
