Why Resonator Bells (Tone Bells) are the PERFECT Beginner Instrument Leading to the Keyboard
- Left to right orientation matches low to high pitches.
- Each bell matches a white key on the piano.
- Easy to learn steps, skips and leaps (intervals).
- Uses gross motor skills with full arm motions, as opposed to the fine motor skills required for piano (great for young learners).
- Kids can read and play music before their finger dexterity and strength has been developed.
- Bells can be propped up (isolated) to allow for greater success.
- Playing each bell gives you a major scale in the key of C.
- Glissandos are fun!
- Easy for young children to play without too much strain.
- Children can feel the vibrations of the bells as they play.
- Assigned color for each pitch makes it easy to distinguish between bells.
- Free play allows for making new connections and neural pathways.
- Fun and play makes everything exciting for kids!
