The PP798 Wak-a-Tube stand from Percussion Plus provides excellent storage for up to a complete chromatic octave of Wak-a-Tubes. It has a row of eight holes to accommodate the PP790 diatonic set, with a second set of 5 holes positioned so that the PP791 chromatic notes can be arranged in the appropriate positions for the chromatic scale.
As well as being a great way to protect the ends of your Wak-a-Tubes from damage, a PP798 stand filled with Wak-a-Tubes also provides a colourful addition to the classroom or home. The tubes can also be played with beaters whilst in the stand, although the tone will be muted by one end of the tubes being closed off.
Teaching 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.
Relating 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. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique - the Colour & Play series.
All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!
