    Sasami Ashworth Try putting all of the farm songs on an itune playlist, then sometimes the songs sill show up in the playlist on your ipod. iPod or iPhone?

Froggy stories and Don't Wake up Mama had parts for everyone to be successful.

Lynn, where you use shakers, I have all the barred instruments tremolo lightly on their "F" or both of their "Fs" (so there is the option for two people on one instrument since there are two Fs on one barred instrument). It's just another opportunity for students to play an instrument part, even if it is only in that one part of the music (it repeats 3x though so it's a few times, no fewer than the shakers would have played). The students can tremolo on the Fs at the end of each of the three Ecce Gratum sections too (where all the instruments tremolo). So they actually get to play quite a bit even though it might only be on one bar.
  I actually use this part of this piece to introduce "tremolo" on the bars to my 2nd graders, since it is just a simple tremolo on one bar (I even have a card with the slash marks and show them a traditional tremolo symbol -- I sometimes hold up the card the fir...    less
