BOOMWHACKERS

Boomwhackers

This course is about learning a new instrument in a fun, creative and inventive way. Children will get the opportunity to play in different parts of the Boomwhackers' orchestra to see where they prefer to be. Every song is taught using colour coordinated notes, allowing children who struggle to read from a stave to still participate easily. KS2 students will be encouraged to use their music theory knowledge to read the notated music and write and record compositions. Advanced groups will be given the opportunity to play multiple Boomwhackers at the same time, allowing students to construct chords and improve harmony.
