They can be played in a wide variety of ways to create a range of different pitched sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced in the Percussion Plus workshops in Leicestershire, Wak-a-Tubes are also supplied in multi-use packaging made of 100% recyclable materials, so you know that you’re doing your bit for the planet by buying UK made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Waks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaying Wak-a-Tubes in a group is a great way to learn about teamwork and ensemble musicianship while having lots of fun. Unsurprisingly, this has made them very popular with schools. They are also widely used in corporate team building exercises and events due to the universal appeal of bright colours and noise! The simple playing technique breaks down any barriers to creativity and levels the playing field, allowing the least and most musically inclined to come together and have a wak.\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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.
