Ever since we started directing handbell choirs, we've struggled to find music that is accessible and appropriate for worship for small groups of ringers. Sure, there are plenty of beginning pieces (Levels 1 and 2), but much of the literature calls for 15 or more bells (2+ octaves), which i

![Handbell Notation Guide [Infographic]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/15/3a/8b/153a8b3d0341561e0aacfb5114ce54f3.png)
One of the most challenging things about directing a handbell choir is getting used to all the new markings in the music.Why? Because in addition to general music notation markings (dynamics, slurs, articulation, accidentals, accents, etc.), handbell music includes special technique-specific markings - things like “thumb damp,” “echo,” and “martellato."A number of these notation markings appear only in handbell music and if you’re relatively new to ringing, it can be hard to keep up.What does that arrow mean again?What do you do when you see a plus sign?What does “TD” stand for?A few months ago, I found myself googling “handbell notation chart” without much success. There are a few cheat sheets out there, but not as many as you might think. So, I decided to create my own.

This is the first study in the Play-Along Adventures Masterwork Collection curriculum series. Come explore the Baroque period and dive into the music of Antonio Vivaldi's beloved violin concerto, "Autumn" from the Four Seasons. Studies focusing on the other movements of Four Seasons are coming soon! * Composer card * Information sheets on Vivaldi and the Baroque era * three complete lesson plans (no prior music experience necessary!) * three color-coded handbell charts * Additional printable materials * Glossary of musical terms * Detailed list of additional optional resources Each lesson focuses on a single movement from "Autumn," and includes links to recordings of the pieces you will be studying, a clear explanation of an important musical concept, journal prompts to encourage thoughtful listening, and a variety of engaging, hands-on activities. The activities are designed to be simple and use common household items. The lessons include three color-coded handbell charts so that your child can play along as they learn. These charts can be adapted for use with BoomWhackers or chimes. Because of the many sharps and flats in these pieces, you will need a 13-note set of handbells. While these lessons are designed for grades k-6, instructions for adapting lessons for both younger or more advanced students are included. Lessons are intended to be used as a six-week course. I wanted an easy-to-use curriculum that introduced children to important musical concepts and ideas, famous composers, and most importantly, fostered a love of listening to and making music. As a piano teacher and homeschool mom, I started out writing this curriculum to use with my own children and piano students. My hope is that you will enjoy using these lessons as much as we have. Not sure if you're ready to buy? Check out my Instagram stories @growing_gardenside for a curriculum tour, or send me a message and I'll happily send you a sample lesson!

Playing handbells as a family is about to be your new favorite past time! Children's Handbells are perfect for introducing music.
“You’re a Grand Old Flag” was written by George Cohan in 1906 for his musical George Washington, Jr. The lyrics came from an encounter with a Civil War veteran who referred to Old Glory as, “A grand old rag.” Cohan switched the words, calling his song “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” In the early 20th century, popularity depended largely on sheet music sales. “You’re a Grand Old Flag” was the first song from a musical to sell over a million copies. That’s a lot of notes! Patriotic songs like this one helped shape America’s cultural identity. Think of a million music students practicing the SAME SONG in their homes. This is why the Prodigies team is so proud of what we do, because we delight in knowing we we can all share in the same musical experience. (Source)

Erkunden Sie die Barockzeit und tauchen Sie ein in die Musik von Antonio Vivaldis geliebtem Violinkonzert „Frühling“ aus den Vier Jahreszeiten. Studien, die sich auf die anderen Sätze von Four Seasons konzentrieren, folgen in Kürze! * Komponistenkarte * Informationsblätter zu Vivaldi und der Barockzeit * drei komplette Unterrichtspläne (keine musikalische Vorkenntnisse nötig!) * drei farbunterlegte Handglockentabellen * Zusätzliche druckbare Materialien *Glossar der Musikbegriffe * Detaillierte Liste der zusätzlichen optionalen Ressourcen Jede Lektion konzentriert sich auf einen einzelnen Satz aus „Frühling“ und enthält Links zu Aufnahmen der Stücke, die Sie lernen werden, eine klare Erklärung eines wichtigen musikalischen Konzepts, Tagebuch-Aufforderungen, um nachdenkliches Zuhören zu fördern, und eine Vielzahl von einnehmenden, praktischen Aktivitäten. Die Aktivitäten sind so gestaltet, dass sie einfach sind und gängige Haushaltsgegenstände verwenden. Die Lektionen enthalten drei farbunterlegte Handglockentabellen, damit Ihr Kind beim Lernen mitspielen kann. Diese Karten können für die Verwendung mit BoomWhackers oder Glockenspiel angepasst werden. Aufgrund der vielen Kreuze und Flächen in diesen Stücken benötigen Sie ein 13-stimmiges Set Handglocken. Während diese Lektionen für die Klassenstufen k-6 konzipiert sind, sind Anweisungen zur Anpassung des Unterrichts sowohl für jüngere als auch für fortgeschrittene Schüler enthalten. Der Unterricht ist als sechswöchiger Kurs gedacht. Ich wollte einen einfach zu bedienenden Lehrplan, der Kindern wichtige musikalische Konzepte und Ideen, berühmte Komponisten, vorstellte und vor allem die Liebe zum Zuhören und Musizieren förderte. Als Klavierlehrerin und Homeschool-Mama begann ich, diesen Lehrplan zu schreiben, um ihn mit meinen eigenen Kindern und Klavierschülern zu verwenden. Ich hoffe, dass Sie diese Lektionen genauso genießen werden wie wir. Nicht sicher, ob Sie bereit sind zu kaufen?
