Absolutely incredible music tutorial interactive program! I teach elementary school music, have them learn how to play piano on garage band. And as I teach them where the piano keys are, I have them do the boomwhacker play along to different songs they are learning. Great stuff. Thank you so much for posting these valuable educational tools.
I taught my students I IV V progressions today, using Boomwhackers (and a few on ukulele). I love how the boomwhackers are along the bottom of the screen. I could project on the white board, and I wrote the chord names that each Boomwhacker is in along the bottom. Then when I played a different video of yours, those labels were still lined up! I hadn't planned on doing this one, but we had some time. I didn't bring drums, but they quickly figured they could tap their desk! It's also a great video for showing dividing the beat. I think I have 1 and 2 and 3 4 stuck in my head now!
nice work buddy. How do you do these animations and get them to fall on the line in time ? also how do get around copyrights for the songs? Do you have to re-record the songs and put your own spin to it? thanks so much
Synthesia uses midi files to time the falling squares. I don't have rights to any of the pop songs, which only means the ad revenue is sent to the rights owner.
Lyrics are definitely a brick wall when it comes to requests. I get lots of suggestions for songs that could never be played in a classroom. This one is up for interpretation, I'm sure.

Thanks so much for sharing! My students love your play along videos...I used several as warmups for my hand bell choir rehearsal!
That's awesome!
Do your handbells match the Boomwhackers? Mine don't and it's frustrating for the little kids (older kids know to look for the pitch name)
Is there a way to print this as papers that my kids can use to follow along? We are performing outside and don't have access to a screen.
This is the highlight of my 5th and 6th graders' day! Thank you so much!!!
Brilliant! My 13 year olds love your videos more and more :) Thank you so much :)
I'm thrilled to learn there is an older audience! My fifth graders act too cool sometimes.
What platform or software do you use to make these videos? It would be so nice to make boomwhacker arrangements like these for my students!
I have a tutorial recently uploaded on my channel. It has a giant "HOW?!" in the thumbnail.
My students love all of your videos! I've been told to request Enemy by Imagine Dragons.
Very cool! I'll look it up!

My classes are going to love this! Thanks for sharing :)
Fourth of July goes baby you’re like fireworks❤
you are doing god's work
I hope it makes this wild year end a little easier!
I have a close reading assignment to do with these lyrics. Thanks

I learned this song on 2nd grade (without boomwhackers)
this made me almost ascend to god as we played this
Adiós
