My Favorite Music Resources

Basic Beat Resonator Bells or “Xylophone” for our Xylophone Fun Curriculum. These can be played in the case, or the bars can be pulled out and played on the desk or the floor. [Please watch out for cheaper versions of this on Amazon, with yellow, plastic mallets. They do not have good reviews.]

These are also called Resonator Bells but they are more like chime bars. They are more expensive and higher quality. Would be great for an older child or teen who would be interested in the Xylophone Fun Curriculum.

Rhythm Band Hand Bells/Desk Bells. These can be played by tapping the top while sitting on a desk, or may be picked up and played like traditional hand bells. These work with the Xylophone Fun Curriculum.

Desk bells sit on the desk and are smaller and easier for little hands. They can not be picked up and played as hand bells though. (Without a case)

Basic Beat BBR8 8-Note Resonator Bells w/ Case from WestMusic.com. This is the same “Xylophone” as the others above, just on a site other than Amazon.

Boomwhackers can also be used with the Xylophone Fun Curriculum. This offers another way of playing the songs other than the xylophone. They are played by hitting them on a desk or on the floor. Great for a class or small group.

Rhythm Band Hand Bells are played like traditional hand bells. These can be used with the Xylophone Fun Curriculum.

Rainsticks offer the soothing sound of rain and are great for small groups for creating nature music, pairing with a rain song, or shaking for a percussive sound.

Rainsticks or Rainmakers also come in bright colors which is appealing for younger kids. I love using these in groups and one-on-one.
