Purpose

Simple Idea. Big Possibilities.

Our vision is for everyone to love Boomwhackers® as much as we do: embracing the full potential of the instrument and unlocking the fun, learning and transformative power they can bring.

Imagine you walk into any community setting or classroom, having been told you are running a music session and ‘there’s a set of Boomwhackers® you can use!’ (True story!) These tubes look really colourful and exciting, but you’re not sure what to do with them and you don’t have a scheme of work for them. What will you do next? 

Well, Boomwhacker® Basics aims to empower anyone to lead a Boomwhacker® session with confidence. Specialist and non-specialist music leaders alike can dive into a bank of fun, ready-to-go activities that spark really engaging and joyful experiences.

Using these versatile and accessible instruments will actively build learners’ musical skills, as well as their resilience, self-discipline, and teamwork. There are activities to try across all areas of music - playing, improvising, composing, moving, and listening and appraising and the tubes work just as well with a group of Early Years students as they do with Old Folks.

And it’s no exaggeration to say that Boomwhacker® groups can be really transformative for both children and adults. In our sessions, we’ve seen people move from thinking, “I can’t,” to realising, “Oh yes, I can,” unlocking confidence, joy, and a real sense of achievement.

“….For me the whole experience has been brilliant. Not being at all musical I began to ‘hear’ the notes and realise when there was a wrong one. I feel proud of myself for coming to the first session and learning something new and challenging myself.”

“….For a non musical person, it makes me feel musically capable and happy!”

“….colourful, rhythmic and accessible”
