Today the IBES fourth graders preformed Boomwhackers for their families and friends. Boomwhackers are plastic tubes of different lengths and colors that, when struck, produce different pitches. These instruments are pretty new to Mr. Geiger's Music Class, so Fourth Graders have only had access to them for about a year. Students work together to play chords (multiple pitches at once) or create a melody (one pitch at a time). When students sing or play drums in Music Class, they are almost always making the same sounds in unison, so playing the boomwhackers gives students an opportunity to be just one part in a larger ensemble.
Parents can view the video of the preformance on the IBES concert website. Great Job IBES 4th graders~
