About this resource
This resource includes simple arrangements of well-known Classical (Classical, Romantic and Baroque) music. Arranged for Boomwhackers®, sheet music for two parts is colour coded so that you can have fun in the class, after listening to or studying a song, or performing a concert with your students. There is also PowerPoints included so that you can display each arrangement easily in your classroom. Please note that some require chromatic notes and or octavator caps to create ideal performance.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Play a two-part Boomwhackers colour-tube arrangement of a classical melody as a class ensemble.
Follow a displayed slide to match tube colour to pitch while playing along with a classmate group.
Teaching tips
Play a recording of each original classical piece before rehearsing the Boomwhackers arrangement so students recognise the source.
Check that chromatic Boomwhackers or Octavator caps are on hand before assigning pieces noted as using accidentals or a high E.
Use the matching slide deck to display the colour-coded part while the class plays, since the description notes the slides are meant for this purpose.
Skills covered
Boomwhackers ensemble performance — students play colour-coded tube parts in time as a class ensemble.
Melody recognition — students connect a Boomwhackers arrangement to its classical source melody by ear.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What extra equipment might I need to play some of the arrangements in this bundle?
The included product description notes that pieces using a high E or accidentals call for more than one octave of Boomwhackers or Octavator caps, plus chromatic Boomwhackers, beyond the standard colour-tube set the arrangements are otherwise built around.
