As a former college professor, I have seen how students taking music classes, specifically a music appreciation class, benefit from having hands on experiences with instruments. As a brand new classroom teacher, I want students taking my class to start learning the basics of music theory (rhythm, notes, key and time signatures, etc.) Enhancing my new classroom with a set of boomwackers or ToneChimes will enable students to put their written work to use! These instruments will also be able to be incorporated into my choral program! Chimes and boomwackers are great instruments to help with hand eye coordination, practical music learning, and even adding a little something special to choral pieces!
