Compose Yourself with Boomwhackers!

Another one for composing with Boomwhackers with the colored dice I mentioned in an earlier post (scroll down to see other uses for these!):

Game and Activity with Woodchuck Tongue Twister and Dice!

There is a Level 1 which is MUCH easier- students write in ONE letter to play for each beat of rhythmic values. Level 2 students have to write (and practice) playing different notes for EACH rhythmic value- much harder. It's a great way to differentiate for your "superstars".

Dice That Match Boomwhackers!

So I was walking through Education Express the other night and found these: I looked at them and immediately thought of Boomwhackers! These would be perfect as the colors (except the blue) match to C pentatonic! So I came up with this idea: Using these: This will be a fun center to add... I love using Boomwhackers for composition! I also came up with another one using one of the die written with letters in C pentatonic for Orff Instruments: I have another project in mind with the rest of the colored dice and it's also a composition project- hope to finish that one after school today! TWO DAYS LEFT!! WAHOO!!

Hullabaloo To U, 2! Song and Orff arrangement

I'm playing around with some silly poems this week. Here's a simple little song perfect for 3rd grade if they can handle the crossover bordun. Nice little ostinati, easy to add a simple B section to, maybe speak/play: (in 6/8 time) "Hullabaloo, Hullabaloo, to the mouse, to the waiter, to me and to you". Enjoy!
