Description
Handbells, jingle bells, sleigh bells, and resonator bells are all a part of my instrument collection, which is probably why I have so many songs about bells! But when I decided that I needed a fresh one to accompany my little bell players, I adapted a simple and traditional folk tune to get the job done.
The blank spaces in the song are there so that if being used in a group, I can go around the room and address each student: “Ring to the music, Jessica; ring to the music, Jackson” and so on. I can also add these verses to make the activity a little more interesting and challenging:
- Ring to the music, slowly…
- Ring to the music, quickly…
- Ring to the music, softly…
- Ring to the music, loudly…
I first experimented with this song using tone blocks, and I’m happy to report that it was a success :) But really, anytime you ask a child to play an instrument quickly and/or loudly, it will most likely go over well!
