Flower of Scotland

Does anybody know where I can find music for “Flower of Scotland” and/or “Scotland the Brave?”

Whistle Fever has hit my elementary school. I am one of the music teachers, and our choir sang “Penny Whistle” by Teresa Jennings at our spring concert. I had a group of about 10 kids play little cheapie Megs during the second verse. The 5th grade went on a field trip a couple of weeks ago, and I was told that about half of the kids bought penny whistles at the gift shop!!!

I am so proud. sniffle :slight_smile:

Melanie,

I found a version of “Scotland the Brave” at www.pipefest.com, listed under tune llist for 2005. It has piping ornaments but leave these out and you’ve got the basic tune for your students.

I also teach elementary music, and had been thinking about doing an after school whistle workshop next fall. We do recorders with “Recorder karate” but I thought whistles would be fun and lend a bit of “multiculturalism.”

How did the Meg whistles work out? Also, where did you find the Teresa Jennings whistle song? Was it in a specific volume of Music K-8, or is it available separately?

Thanks, Jeanie

“Penny Whistle” is in a K-8 book called “The Power of Music.” I think it’s also in a regular issue… I’ll have to check on that. We did most of the songs from POM for our concert. It was a big hit with the parents!

I use Recorder Karate also with my 4th and 5th graders. The whistles this year were kind of a bonus. I only let my black belts play them (aren’t I mean? :stuck_out_tongue: )

The Megs were great - only $3.25 at the band instrument store. We had to order them, but it didn’t take long for them to come in. The kids thought they were really cool.

Thanks for the website! I’ll check it out.

JC’s Tune Finder ( http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/findtune.html ) has both.

Is that aka “Bluebells of Scotland?”

No
