A book to help you play 8-note music bells right away, with an accompanying CD and easy-to-follow progression guide.
These popular music bells are affordable, lightweight, and easy to play.
This book includes instructions on how to hold and play them, as well as a beginner-friendly "progression guide" and "performance advice."
It introduces five different playing techniques: "alternate playing," which uses the accompanying CD to alternate the bells; "chord playing," which plays individual chords; "scale playing," which plays scales; "melody playing," which plays melodies; and "ostinato playing," which plays simple, repeated musical patterns.
This book is recommended for senior care facilities, various musical recreation venues, and childcare centers where young children gather.
