This versatile set of 8 cards is an excellent resource for any classroom music teacher. Cards are printed on heavy card stock and measure 5.5" x 8.5". The front side shows Kodaly (Solfege) hand signs with color coding to match KidsPlay brand handbells. The back side shows soprano recorder fingerings along with the note name and staff position. These cards may be used for a variety of puposes including practicing your Kodaly hand signs, directing melodies using Kodaly hand signs, teaching recorder fingerings, directing melodies played on recorders, directing melodies played on color-coded handbells, teaching position of notes on the staff and showing the relation of hand signs, recorders and handbells. Cards can all be placed in the optional holder (product #LRCH8,) which holds exactly 8 cards, or they can be placed in the card holder according to the intervals being learned and/or the notes being played on the handbells or recorders.

Appropriate for preschool through early elementary, this handy card set is printed to match the RB108 handbells and RB109 deskbells. You'll get 96 cards (12 of each note) with the a photo of the bell, the note name, and note number printed on the card. By preparing a stack of cards in advance, you'll be able to direct simple melodies by turning through the cards in sequence. You'll be amazed at how such young children can play a melody using these cards! Many of the melodies in the RB7014 and RB7015 books are playable using this set of cards. Cards are printed on heavy card stock and measure 4.25" by 5.5".

This handy card holder was custom manufactured to fit up to 8 of the color coded cards for directing and playing chords. (Order #SP2389 or #SP2390). You may hold the card holder with one of your hands, attach it to a music stand using a clip, or hang it up using the two grommets. After you determine the chords needed for a song, place the cards into the holder through the open slots. The bell ringers can see the bells through one side, while the conductor can see the chord names from the other. Simply point to the proper chord at the moment the chord is to be played. Since all the chords for the song are visible, this holder will help your ringers to remember if their bell is used in a given song. You’ll find this device particularly useful for songs which have more than 3 chords or chords that change quickly.  Important note for owners of the original Little Ringers laminated cards:  Since this card holder was manufactured for the new SP2389 & SP2390 cards by Sweet Pipes, you will need to trim off about 1/8 of an inch of the top or bottom of your laminated cards in order to fit them into this card holder.

The new KidsPlay bell cases make storing and transporting bells easier than ever! The heavy-duty nylon material is virtually indestructible! A variety of sizes are available for handbells, deskbells and combined bells.

For color coding your music to play melodies, we recommend purchasing a set of colored markers such as the Crayola Super Tips.  This set of 20 markers has a close match to each of the bell colors and has a fine tip which helps you to circle notes clearly.  These sets are available at many department stores, school supply stores, etc..   They sell for about $5.95.
