Their bright sound and colourful appearance make them inviting for children and adults alike, while their durable construction is designed to withstand repeated use in busy educational and event environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you Wak?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply whack them against a hard surface, hit them against each other, or lay them out on a flat surface and strike them with beaters. For the best tone, strike the playing surface a few inches from the end of the tube. Why not try grabbing a couple of tubes and waking them together to produce chords? As a rule, the bigger the tube, the lower its pitch. It can be fun to experiment with dynamics and timbre by varying the material the tubes are hit against, and the velocity with which they are struck. And don’t worry – they’re virtually indestructible!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Percussion Plus Colour \u0026amp; Play series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages.
