We present the easy-to-play songs in this songbook for beginners. You, your kids or students will have the opportunity to jump right into the music immediately. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. It's a great instrument for beginners of any age. The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, so the notes that are not used in a particular song can be removed and the student has a greater chance for success. A handbell orchestra acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for their particular notes, sounding their assigned bells whenever those notes appear in the music. Give each participant one or two bells and ask them to join in a simple melody. Independently, whether the player has musical knowledge or not, the band will sound harmoniously with just a little bit of training. Most solfeggio teachers advise that it's better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument. However, like other "serious" musical instruments, bells can help in 1) teaching note duration, 2) understanding different pitches, 3) recognizing different musical scales, and 4) the acquisition of a sense of rhythm and melody. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. All songs were written with circles in the musical staff, and there are no stems or flags - only notes on the line - to keep it simple. This book was written with beginners in mind. Important! Our color-coded scale corresponds to the chakra system. Each chakra is said to vibrate at a different frequency and is associated with a particular color and particular music note. The color of the bells or resonator blocks must be the same as the color of the bells below. C (Do) - red, D (Re) - orange, E (Mi) - yellow, F (Fa) - green, G (Sol) - light blue, A (La) - blue, B (Ti) - violet, C8 (Do) - white List of Songs A Hunting We Will Go A Sailor Went to Sea Amazing Grace Bim Bum Biddy Bobby Shafto Chumbara Cobbler, Mend My Shoe Cock-a-Doodle Doo Cotton Eyed Joe Ding Dong DiggiDiggiDong Doctor Foster Fiddle-Dee-Dee Five Little Monkeys Here Come a Blue Bird Here We Go Looby Loo Humpty Dumpty I Love Little Kitty Kookaburra Lavender’s Blue Li’l Liza Jane Little Jack Horner Long-legged Sailor Ninety-Nine Bottles Oh Susannah Old Blue Old Mother Hubbard One, Two, Three, Four Pat a Cake Peace Like a River Ring Around the Rosie Rub-a-Dub-Dub See-Saw Margery Daw The Bear Went Over the Mountain The Bee and the Pup The Big Sheep The Mulberry Bush Tinga Layo To Market, To Market Wishy Washy Wee.

A Musical Adventure! To begin a new adventure, an explorer needs a map. Many individuals would like to start a musical journey, but the inability to read musical notation holds them back.

If you are a student of music theory, these colored patterns may give you a new perspective on the way music is put together. A Place to Begin! Many parents and classroom teachers feel unequipped to teach the next generation about music because they had little opportunity to learn themselves. Sometimes, older adults who missed the chance to play an instrument when they were younger are determined to begin. Music therapists are often looking for tools to bring music to their patients. Children delight in banging the keys of a percussion instrument but need some help to know what to do next. Yet, where does one who has not yet learned to read musical notation begin? Most people can match colors or letters, which makes color and letter coded music song patterns a good place to start. In this book, the songs progress from easy children's tunes to more complicated pieces and duets. Duets are included so that groups can make music together! Benefits! It is well documented that learning to play a musical instrument stimulates multiple areas of the brain and increases the brain's cognitive ability, but it also enhances eye-hand coordination and balance. It can increase math ability and improve reading and comprehension skills as well as listening ability. Playing together in a group boosts leadership and team work skills and teaches discipline. Music fosters self-expression, creates a sense of achievement, relieves stress, and promotes happiness. For Musicians of All Ages!
