This is my first play-along video where the music is scrolling across the screen and the boomwhackers on the bottom of the screen play along with the music. This is also my first play-along using a video of a live recording (the credentials and the link to the original video are below). I enjoyed creating this, but I am not perfect and there are times when the downbeat rushes slightly. With that said, this boomwhacker can be used to practice, reinforce, or used as a tool for multiple modalities with the following musical concepts:
Dynamics (pp, p, mp, mf, and f)
Performing at a slow tempo
Performing a triple meter
Performing rhythms of quarter and eighth notes, and quarter rests
Reading music
Watching the boomwhackers to know when to perform
Watching an amazing orchestra and following a wonderful conductor
Study of instruments in the orchestra (and discovering some untraditional orchestral instruments for this specific piece of music)
Study of Ravel
Study of an adapted melody (due to the original being 17 minutes in length)
Form Please enjoy and be patient when the downbeat is rushed at times.
