The series Ring by Color is a resource for teaching music reading skills using color-coded instruments such as KidsPlay® bells, ChromoNotes™ chimes, Boomwhackers® tubes or ORFF® style resonator bells. Each reproducible book includes: 5 familiar songs; a Leader Guide for each song; Large Print Chords and Lyrics sheets for each song; a Music Score with chord symbols and lyrics for each song; "About the Series" detailing musical concepts found in each book; and suggestions for classroom use. These reproducible books are available for 8-note diatonic sets (C1-C8) and for 13-note chromatic sets (C1-C8, inclusive of sharp notes). Note: duplicate songs are not compatible from the 8-note version to the 13-note version. Titles include: Jingle Bells; Jolly Old St. Nicholas; Up on the Housetop; Deck the Hall; Joy to the World.

The Ringer Edition book is a non-reproducible collection containing the full-color music score for each song.  The Ringer Edition allows those who do not have access to a color copier the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the series. Simply purchase one copy of the reproducible book for the leader and one copy per participant of the non-reproducible Ringer Edition.
