My students always want to do this one over and over again. It's a great song to reenforce and drill in instrument technique.

Before we play instruments with the video I introduce the song by singing the melody with a neutral syllable and clap the instrumental part. I also play the melody on my cello and tap my foot on the instrumental part, having the students watch my foot and clap along.

I set up various non-pitched percussion, glockenspiels and xylophones around the perimeter of my room. The song repeats 9 times so I use an assortment about 6 or 7 instruments in a repeated pattern to ensure each student gets to play each instrument at least once.

Students switch/rotate instruments during the quiet part. I do a clockwise rotation. I practice the switch with the class several times before I actually play the music.

My kids figure out the barred instrument part notes by watching the video, without much instruction from me.
