Rhythm Band Time - Rhythm Band Songs with Parts for Rhythm Instruments by Harrell Lucky

The sensation of rhythm is the most basic of the musical experiences and provides an exciting and interesting introduction to musical structures, concepts, and expressions. This recording makes use of a variety of new and familiar musical settings and may be adapted to Rhythm Band activities designed for music education, group awareness, and sometimes, just for fun.
Although the majority of pieces support very simple two-, three-, and four- beat structures, some pieces may be used to introduce the concepts of accelerando and ritardando, long sectional divisions within a piece, five beat patterns, contemporary sounds of electronically-generated music, and other ideas that are tremendously attractive and useful.
Songs include: Yankee Doodle; Bicycle Built for Two; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; Good Morning, Sunshine; Turkey in the Star; Butterflies; Randy the Robot; and more.

A great resource for the non-musical. No singing on tape, just music.
