While Whacky Wizards is ideal for classrooms, it is also fantastic for
home-school groups, recreational therapy, and workplace team building.
It’s a great activity for the family too!
Don’t know the difference between a quarter note and a treble clef?
No problem! Whacky Wizards doesn’t require users to read music.
Gain understanding of the basic elements of music at your own pace.
Whacky Wizards was created to help bring more music into schools.
Members have access to video tutorials, downloadable resources, and lesson ideas to make music magically in their classrooms.
Our apps are inspired by video games like “Guitar Hero” and drum sequencers from the 1980’s. Setting parameters such as speed and volume for each song allows users to ‘Level Up’ their musical skills as they play.
Whacky Wizards was created as part of a Music Education research project which was awarded the Governor General’s Gold Medal – The highest academic achievement possible at a Canadian University.
Making music shouldn’t break the bank.
Get everything you need to begin (including the instruments!)
for $10 per player or less.
The Whacky Wizards program is based on our three amazing apps, shown below.
Members gain access to many modules using these apps to learn and play a wide variety of music.
Our most popular app – The Song Wizard – helps users play songs together simply by following the dropping balls that match their individual Boomwhackers™ colours.
The Rhythm Tutor helps users understand and play basic rhythmic patterns. It can be used with Boomwhackers™, or any other instruments that can create high and low sounds.
The Whacky Looper takes the Rhythm Tutor to the next level, allowing users to play up to 8 rhythmic patterns at once, and easily create their own compositions.
Please note – All of our apps require the use of Boomwhackers™ percussion tubes.
If you don’t currently have Boomwhackers, please contact us to make sure you get the right instruments to meet your needs.
If you do have Boomwhackers™ make sure to click the read the instructions on each app’s demo page.
Whacky Wizards is a program dedicated to help groups of all descriptions easily make music in a fun, interactive, and highly engaging way using Boomwhackers™ percussion tubes. The program has special features for educators, but can be used by any group wanting to have a great time making music.
The site revolves around three custom apps which focus on different aspects of music making – The Song Wizard, The Rhythm Tutor, and The Whacky Looper.
The content of the site is presented in modules which feature different songs (using The Song Wizard) or rhythmic patterns (Using The Rhythm Tutor and The Whacky Looper). Each module contains tips and instructions for playing it’s featured music with your group, as well as instructional resources for teachers and those wanting to expand their musical knowledge.
Can’t tell a quarter note from a treble clef? Are sharp and flat just words you would use to describe a knife? You’re not alone.
In fact, Whacky Wizards was created to be used by people just like you. The program was researched and designed specifically for teachers who had been asked to teach music but who often:
After a 10-week trial period with the program, every one of these teachers said that their confidence and competence for music instruction had improved.
The best part is that even if you don’t need musical knowledge to use the program, there are plenty of opportunities to learn. The site features an amazing 5-part tutorial series called “How Music Works” which teaches the most essential elements of music in a way that is approachable and pragmatic. These ‘go-at-your-own-pace’ video lessons offer instruction on how to learn and apply these concepts while using the program.
At the current time, we do not have an online booking system.
