My Project

My students will use these new, unique instruments to learn how chords work and to play notes successfully in my general music classroom. My students are always looking for ways to be more creative and having these instruments in the classroom will help them to expand on their creativity in music.

Students will not only use these boomwhackers in the classroom but can also use them in performance settings.

These instruments will also allow students to be more expressive and learn to sing and play together and encourage performing on stage, in the classroom, or outside the school setting.
