March from The Nutcracker on Boomwhackers
March from The Nutcracker is a color-coded Boomwhacker play-along on bimbadi: the notes fly toward your class in their tube colors on the smartboard or projector, with note names instead of lyrics. All you need is the 8-note diatonic set from C to high C. Tchaikovsky’s toy soldiers march past. This play-along is a bonus that comes with the colored sheet music on eduki; the code inside unlocks it.
The player’s menus are in German for now. Press ▶ and play: “Tempo” is the speed slider, “Tonart” means key.

Classroom idea
Have students march stiffly like nutcrackers to the beat before they play. The march fits perfectly into December and needs only the diatonic set.
