Have fun and learn about music with the Boomwhackers Tubes - Set of 8, a dynamic percussion instrument that introduces children to rhythm, melody, and collaboration. These 8-note diatonic polyethylene percussion tubes are perfectly tuned to the C-Major scale (Upper Octave), making them ideal for musical exploration. The diatonic set allows for a greater variety of songs to be played compared to the pentatonic scale. Each tube is brightly coloured, labelled with its specific note, and varies in size from 30.5 cm to 63 cm in length with a 1.25 cm diameter. By tapping the tubes on different surfaces or playing them in groups, children can develop rhythm, coordination, and teamwork skills while having fun. This Australian-made set is perfect for classrooms, music programs, and group activities where children can learn to play their parts separately and contribute to a beautifully toned musical piece.
