How To Teach Your Child To Play & Enjoy Music with Rainbow Music Bells

It’s no secret that music has wonderful benefits for children.  Since it’s always been such a huge part of my own life, it’s been a delight to see that my daughter loves music too.  Lately we’ve been able to add a new instrument to her collection of musical toys, and it’s been exciting for her to try out some new fun activities with her new Rainbow Music Bells.

Drian got all curious and excited when she watched one of her favorite Hi-Five (the Australian kiddie group, original cast) videos and saw one of the lead actors Tim play bells and sing “Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi” in a scale.

When we finally chanced upon nearly the same kind of bells, we knew we had to purchase them.  It’s been a great addition to Drian’s musical instruments, and a handy set of learning tools for teaching musical concepts like pitch, melody, and accompaniment.

These color-coded handbells came with a very child-friendly song sheet that had easy-to-play songs like “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and “Jingle Bells.”  I love that these little bells look so colorful and fit right into my daughter’s little toddler hands.

Just in case you’re a parent who loves music and would like to incorporate a passion and love for it in your child, I’m sure you would enjoy reading about the numerous benefits music has on early childhood development.  Here are a few:

• Children respond well to the emotional ethos created by music.
• Learning to play music by playing instruments and singing together are great foundations for teaching vital life skills like collaboration, group effort, and cooperation.
• Music is a great way to teach a child the full spectrum of human emotion in appropriate ways to his experiences.  It is a good avenue for self-expression.
• Basic cognitive, social, and motor skills needed for success in the educational process are sharpened when children develop musical understanding and skill.
