Actively Ringing!
From Sweet Pipes
by Emily BrackneyHandbells/Handchimes With Singing, Recorder, Orff Instruments And Movement
Bells and chimes are accessible instruments that can be used to teach ostinati, chords, simple accompaniments, and basic small-group composition along with music literacy. This book provides fresh ideas for children to actively make their own music and accompany their own singing. Most of these activities will translate easily to a performance situation without requiring students to have individual scores in front of them. For teachers with large music classes, the activities involve everyone simultaneously.
