Big Color-Coded Songbook for 8 Note Bell Set: 78 Easy-to-Play Songs

The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, and 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 in1) teaching note duration,2) understanding different pitches,3) recognizing different musical scales, and4) 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 e-book was written with beginners in mind.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) - whiteCONTENTSA Hunting We Will GoA Sailor Went to SeaAcka BackaAmazing GraceAlphabet SongAre You Sleeping?Baa Baa Black SheepBaby Bumble BeeBell HorsesBim Bum BiddyBobby ShaftoBrahms LullabyChumbaraCobbler, Mend My ShoeCock-a-Doodle DooCotton Eyed JoeDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doctor FosterDoggie DoggieFiddle-Dee-DeeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysFrog in the MeadowHappy BirthdayHere We Go Looby LooHot Cross BunsHumpty DumptyI Like to Eat Apples and BananasI Love Little KittyIt's RainingItsy Bitsy SpiderJack and JillJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasKookaburraLa CucarachaLavender’s BlueLi’l Liza JaneLittle Jack HornerLondon BridgeLong-legged SailorMary Had a Little LambMichael, Row the Boat AshoreMiss Mary MackMy HatNinety-Nine BottlesOde to JoyOh SusannahOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumOld Bald EagleOld BlueOld McDonaldOld Mother HubbardOne, Two, Three, FourPeace Like a RiverRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRow Row Your BoatRub-a-Dub-DubSee-Saw Margery DawTen in the BedTen Little FingersThe BakerThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe Bee and the PupThe Big SheepThe First NoelThe Mulberry BushThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManTinga LayoTo Market, To MarketTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasWhen the Saints Go Marchin InWishy Washy WeeYankee Doodle
