Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to help absolute beginners, whether kids or adults, learn to play in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music.If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. Playing music can be as simple and enjoyable as a game. That is our goal: to give you what’s necessary to play beautiful music while having fun. We recommend the color bell set and 8-15 note color glockenspiel for your child’s first musical experience. There are 2 instruments that are best for beginners and most solfeggio teachers advise that it’s better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument. There are 3 levels in this Bell's book. Level 1: Play by color circle. Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside. The circles are grouped by rhythm. The duration of the whole, dotted half, and half notes are depicted by the arches after the circles (2, 3, or 4 beats). The songs here are very familiar and simple. Level 2: Get acquainted with the musical staff. Learn the places of each note on a staff. No note durations (note length) here. Level 3: Play by classic note on a musical staff. Here is the “adult” musical notation: clef, duration, rests and connection of the notes, but the helpful color circles and letters are still above the notes. Each song was adapted for the newbie - just 8 notes (one octave). At the end of the book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier. Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, please use the classic music score for the piano.
