The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Orff and Boomwhackers

This is a sample video of an arrangement for Orff instruments, Boomwhackers, and Percussion. In this version the song is played in straight time instead of the usual swing time. I have found playing it straight helps elementary students stay together much better than swing feel.
The Boomwhackers are layered in at the beginning, followed by the percussion and accompaniment parts. Finally the melody joins in.
Check back on my channel for an upcoming tutorial video of the Orff instrument parts!

Happy to help!

Thank you for sharing this, my students will love this! Do you have any other arrangements where you have the tutorial as well? I would be willing to purchase it.

Hi! You can take a look in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLHdRDlxxIL-p-myQ6An78x4GCrE5Sy0FV There are a couple arrangements that have tutorials that show the parts. I really only make stuff when I need it in my own classroom, however we are back to performing again this year, so new stuff should be posted throughout the year!

I love this- I would love to try it with the students I work with- looking for ways to add in many layers- this is perfect. Is there written arrangement of t his?? Maybe just the rhythms written out for the boomwackers-

[@MessyDeskConcerts]

Hi! The boomwhacker rhythms are from Splash Of Blue in the book Show Stoppers by Tim Wiegand

Hi, What program or app do you use to edit & combine multiple videos into 1 single video for posting on KZbin? Thank you so much! Nick
