Chimes and bells are instruments that can be used by a variety of ages and abilities. These accessible instruments can be used to teach ostinato, chords, simple accompaniments, and basic small-group composition along with music literacy. Combine these instruments with unison and part-singing, recorders, Orff instruments, and movement.

The activities in this book involve everyone simultaneously, making it a great addition for teachers with larger class sizes. Most activities can easily translate to a performance situation without requiring students to have music in front of them.

The included CD-ROM incudes electronic visuals in PowerPoint, SMART Notebook, and Promethean formats.
