- Music camps or after-school programs with mixed ability levels

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Classical arrangements
Familiar melodies adapted to the diatonic tube set, which limits the harmony but makes the tunes recognizable to a class.
Detail 03
Ensemble format
Each part is one or two pitches. The music only comes together with several players, so plan around group size.
Detail 04
$32.99, above typical songbook pricing
Reflects classroom activity material with multiple arrangements rather than a single-instrument songbook.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Boomwhacker tubes are not included and must be purchased separately.

- 03Designed for groups. A single player can't cover most parts alone.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include the Boomwhackers?
No. It's a book of arrangements only. You'll need a Boomwhacker set, and the size of the set determines which pieces you can play.
02How many players do I need?
It's ensemble material, so each player typically covers one or two pitches. A class-sized group works better than a handful of players.
03Do the students need to read music?
No. Boomwhacker arrangements are built around color and pitch cues, which is why they work with young or non-reading players.
04What age is this for?
Boomwhacker classical arrangements are usually aimed at elementary-age classroom groups, though the format works for any beginner ensemble.
