Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Play a two-part Boomwhackers color-tube arrangement of a classical melody as a class ensemble.
Follow a displayed slide to match tube color 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 recognize 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 color-coded part while the class plays, since the description notes the slides are meant for this purpose.

Skills covered

Boomwhackers ensemble performance — students play color-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

Will a basic diatonic set cover every arrangement?

Not necessarily. The included Nocturne description specifically calls for chromatic Boomwhackers for accidentals and recommends more than one octave or Octavator caps for its high E. Check the chosen arrangement against your available instruments.
