U Kaboom
Turn Your Group Into an Instant Orchestra
Quick Preview (about a minute)
U Kaboom is a joyful, plug-and-play music program that turns any group of kids into a musical orchestra. Using Boomwhackers, voices, and optional instruments like ukulele or guitar, students follow engaging play-along videos that build musicality, coordination, and confidence.
Created by longtime educator and composer Thomas Silvani, U Kaboom is ideal for K–8 classrooms, homeschool co-ops, and after-school enrichment programs. Whether students are beginners or budding musicians, this program meets them where they are and brings music to life.

🔎 A Look Inside
Sample Song – "I've Been Working on the Railroad"
Each song comes with a short introductory paragraph and sheet music printables:
I've Been Working on the Railroad (Traditional)
I remember singing this one as a child – an absolute classic! For the U Kaboom arrangement, I added a groovy drum beat that I think works really well. Feel free to sing this one when toiling away on dishes or diggin' a hole in the yard. ~Thomas

Boomwhackers are pitched percussion plastic tubes which means each tube is a musical note and you strike them to produce a sound.
Students usually hold one or two at a time (one per hand) striking the floor, the edge of a table or chair, a wooden baton (in this case one hand holds a Boomwhacker, one holds a baton) or their thigh or hand.
The cost works out to about $4 per instrument including shipping. They are sold in packs of 6, 8, or more. Some sets include "octavator caps" which put the pitch of the instrument down one musical octave.
