Rating: - 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.

Rating: - 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.
