Discover a fun, visual, and beginner-friendly approach to music with Hand Bells: 100 Easy Songs for 8-Note Bell Sets.
Every melody uses the same 8 notes - C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C - and each one is color-coded to match a standard 8-note handbell set.
The colors do more than make the songs easier to play. Each colored note appears in its correct position on the traditional musical staff, helping beginners connect the color, note name, sound, and position on the staff. This visual system makes learning to read sheet music more intuitive, and helps young musicians gradually recognize notes without relying on colors alone.
Enjoy 100 favorites, including:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Ode to Joy, Jingle Bells, Row Row Row Your Boat, Amazing Grace, and many more familiar children's songs, traditional tunes, hymns, and holiday classics.
Inside you'll find:
Perfect for kids and complete beginners, as well as preschool music activities, classrooms, homeschool lessons, music schools, and group classes.
With adult guidance, even preschool-age children can begin exploring musical notation through a simple connection between color and sound - building confidence one song at a time.
And because every melody is written on a standard staff, handbells can become an easy first step toward reading music before moving on to other instruments.
See the color. Find the note. Ring the bell. Read the music.
No complicated theory, no overwhelming instructions - just a modern, colorful way to build confidence, recognize notes, and experience the joy of making music.
