Grade 2 Plays Xylophones and Boomwhackers
2011-2012
Students in Grade 2 are having a great time learning to play songs on the xylophones and boomwhackers!

Grade 2 Shines!
Students in Grade 2 are learning to play the xylophones and pre-read music notation. Our students are getting so good at it that they are memorizing phrases and patterns and some are able to conduct/lead the class! It takes listening skills and patience to know when to move to the next note. The conductor must listen for each student to play each note and move just at the right pace while they are learning the piece. Next, they begin to keep a slow, steady tempo that the others must follow
. Great job students!

Shake the Papaya Down with choreography
Mama says no play this is a workday
Up with the bright sun get all the work done
If you will help me climb up the tall tree
Shake the papaya down
Land of the Silver Birch
(Verse 1)
Land of the Silver Birch, home of the beaver
where still the mighty moose wanders at will
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more
(like a drum)
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
boom de de boom boom boom
Verse 2
Down in the forest, deep in the low lands
My heart cries out for thee, hills of the north
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more
(like a drum)
Boom de de boom boom, boom de de boom boom
Boom de de boom boom boom
Hakuna Matata from Disney’s “Lion King”
Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata, ain’t no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It’s our problem free, philosophy
Hakuna Matata
(repeat)
