Boomwhacker Play-along: ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ – (Queen)

A workshop programme which has been designed for participative music-making by older children using Boomwhackers.

This is a more challenging workshop programme, suitable for those who have already mastered the earlier Boomwhacker workshops in the series and are competent in moving beyond diatonic scales and playing in four parts simultaneously.

This song involves using all the notes in the scale of F Major plus an additional C′ and E♭
