Chime Bands

Optimize teaching for non-music readers! If you have handchimes at your disposal, teaching music reading with the help of colors couldn’t be simpler! Using colors or shapes corresponding to pitch names is an effective way to teach eye and hand coordination to non-music readers. Colored bands can be wrapped around the handchime tubes so that each ringer can identify a pitch with a color. In the case of vision deficiency, the shape may also be drawn on the band. The success rate in learning is quite high, and this process is a natural step leading to music literacy. Used in Boomwhacker and KidsPlay systems. Available in packets of eight band colors (five of each color) and a template for trimming the bands to size.
