- Boomwhackers are great asset
Purchased Boomwhackers to excite and further involve our children in Sunday/Wednesday services. They are simple, easy to use, and provide a new dimension to teaching and learning music.

- It's "okay"
My kids played with it a few times then forgot it about it. I thought it would have more vibration or "boom" to it. Banging pots and pans is more fun.

- Didn't hold my son's attention
My son plays (or plays with) drums, guitar and piano. He loves banging on musical instruments. He is 5 years old. However, these did not hold his attention for 5 minutes. The sound is plastic sounding, not authentic at all. He never played with these things; we finally gave them away.

- Simple is good
Love these for teaching purposes. They work a bit like choir chimes or handbells; every kid gets one and only plays it when their pitch comes round in the song. If you want to get fancy, you can also get the chromatic set that will give you the "black keys" on the piano. Boomwhacker also makes caps to fit over the ends of the tubes that will lower the sound by an octave; I found that the kids like the deeper sound and find it easier to distinguish pitch. You can hit two or more together to make a chord; you can play them with mallets for a different timbre; they're near on impossible to break. Perfect.

A note to other music teachers: the notation software Sibelius has a feature that will color in noteheads in Boomwhacker colors. ... Read More:

- Great teaching tool.
Boomwhackers are wonderful for teaching children or adults elementary music. They are virtually indestructible and can be use in a variety of teaching situations. And that are very resonable in price. I do recommend also purchasing the Octavator caps.
