Boomwhackers are plastic tubes of varying lengths that produce a sound when struck against each other, the ground, or any other objects. They are so simple and motivating that truly all children can make music with them. This makes them particularly well-suited for making music with students with intellectual disabilities. This volume provides everything you need for designing an action-oriented music lesson: introductory notes, detailed lesson plans, and accompanying photocopiable materials. The focus of each lesson unit is on fundamental, curriculum-relevant topics such as getting to know the Boomwhackers, tempo and volume, rhythm, tones and melodies, as well as composing. Since each tone of the Boomwhackers has its own color, students can also participate without any knowledge of musical notation.
