Abstract: A symphony can provide a context for teaching about the frequency of sound waves in open or one-end-closed tubes. A set of Boomwhackers and smartphone applications are sufficient to do this. As an exploratory approach to understanding the frequency of the sound produced in tubes, we can challenge students to play Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” Right after that, we can use Boomwhackers again to find the speed of sound.
