The Stretchy Band Song

[@aprilreeder5459]

I spotted this song last year. It's awesome!!!! Wish they had printed music for it somewhere!

[@BowTieMusic]

I really like it too :) Not sure if there's printed music for it anywhere but I played it in C, alternating between a I and a IV chord in the left hand and playing the melody in the right hand. The melody line is GE GE AAAAGE GE DDDCBC DDDCBC.

I love this lesson, Will! Trying it today!

[@BowTieMusic]

Great Mackenzie, your kids will love it!

[@Bearpawcreek]

So happy to have found your video and the music cues! I have tried several way to reach out to MGilbert since seeing the original video. It's one of my very favorite stretchy band songs!

[@BowTieMusic]

So much fun! My students love the stretchy band!

I have tried to get hold of MGilbert also, but no luck. I had it play once for me, but now it just keeps trying to load and will not load or play... ☹

[@lorit2003]

Wow! I love this song and how you are leading it! Would you ever consider creating a keyboard recording for purchase to sing and move to?

[@debbiebyrum2406]

piano sheet music for this? can you give us exactly the notes you played, left & right hand? chords? thank you

[@MariaAnaRReyes]

Hello, sir. This is a great video. Will you share the lyrics here? I can't understand what's next after in out.. everybody .... Sorry. Thanks!

[@BowTieMusic]

Here you go :) “Bounce bounce Bounce bounce Hold on the band and go Bounce bounce Bouncing to the beat Bouncing to the beat” And then you just change “bounce bounce” to “up down” “in out” and “side side” for the remaining verses.

Thanks for all your videos! I'm loving the THis Old Man drumming w 2nd graders. What is on top of your tubanos??

[@BowTieMusic]

You’re so welcome! I just use hand towels on the tubanos to bring the volume down a bit. Still loud, but better!

[@wanshanyuanyuan6930]

Please tell me the name if the song

[@SandraMachuga]

What is the size of the stretchy band you are using?? I love this, btw!

[@roxykayky6591]

It looks like 20 ft.

[@kimsmith4026]

Love this! Where did you get the band? What are you doing for accompaniment?

[@BowTieMusic]

You can find the stretchy band I used here: www.westmusic.com/kids-movement/movement-props/stretchy-bands/540030 And for the accompaniment, I played it in C, alternating between a I and a IV chord in the left hand and playing the melody in the right hand. The melody line is GE GE AAAAGE GE DDDCBC DDDCBC :)

[@kimsmith4026]

@@BowTieMusic Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@debbiebyrum2406]

The melody line is GE GE AAAAGE GE DDDCBC DDDCBC (shouldn't the pattern actually be AAAAGF GE ???) My ears hear it that way

[@debbiebyrum2406]

The melody line is GE GE AAAAGE GE DDDCBC DDDCBC - shouldn't the melody above actually be AAAAGF GE ??? (notice the F instead of E)

[@erinelliott464]

Is this your normal class size?? How heavenly! My smallest class is 26 this year, and I have between 30-35 K and 1st graders so my stretchy band is way too small. Your students did a wonderful job!

[@BowTieMusic]

Thanks so much! 30-35 kindergartners all at the same time??? You must be a superhero!

[@janettekammerer6995]

Where can we get the piano accompaniment for this song?

[@BowTieMusic]

I played this one in C, alternating between a I and a IV chord in the left hand and playing the melody in the right hand. The melody line is GE GE AAAAGE GE DDDCBC DDDCBC. Hope that helps!

[@debbiebyrum2406]

do you have piano sheet music?@@BowTieMusic

[@lyndakletter9347]

The link to the Gilbert video doesn't work--just keeps trying to load. Are there lyrics. available anywhere?

[@BowTieMusic]

Lyrics are in the description :)

[@brucekrieg9836]

Hi William, this is cute. I'll have to get one and try it with my students. Would you recommend the large or xl band?

[@BowTieMusic]

I got the extra large one which is about perfect for my classes of 20-27ish students. You can find it here: www.westmusic.com/kids-movement/movement-props/stretchy-bands/540030

Hi Mr. Will, Love your videos and your work! Just wondering where I can buy de color circles of your classroom carpet.

[@BowTieMusic]

Thanks so much! You can find them at www.sitspots.com/ or there are cheaper versions on Amazon :)
