Halloween Boomwhacker Visual Play-Along Slides

Bring some spooky fun and purposeful music-making to your next session or class!

Created by Music Therapy Connections team member GraceAnne Prince for her school-based music therapy sessions, this resource pairs familiar Halloween songs with colorful visual cues for Boomwhacker playing. Color-coded note symbols and letter names provide a visual reference as students make music together.
(Note: These play-along videos can be paired with any color coded instrument using the same color/letter assignments.)

This 55-slide PDF includes play-along cues for five Halloween favorites:

• Thriller
• Spooky Scary Skeletons
• Ghostbusters
• Witch Doctor
• Monster Mash

A table of contents and color-coded note guide help you navigate the resource and introduce the instruments. Display the slides on a screen or projector and facilitate participation using live music or your chosen recordings in a matching key. Adjust pacing, prompts, and instrument assignments to match your student and clients’ needs.

Inside you’ll also find a full page of goals and objectives that can be addressed using these play-along visuals.
