Preschool Handbells

This Instrument Explorations Handbells preschool lesson plan encourages students to follow directions, learn rhythms, and get a little taste of the joy of making music together. In most cases, this will be their first experience playing an instrument with control over the sounds being made, the rhythmic patterns being created and, ultimately, the final result of a recognizable scale. It is an exciting building block for them on their way to becoming music-makers, and for you as you give them tools they will rely on for a lifetime of music-making, appreciation, and inspiration.
