Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Boomwhackers are great asset

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.
