Name: Montessori Bells

Description: The purpose of the Montessori bells is to introduce children to discrimination of musical sounds by pairing and grading. The bells are also a musical instrument for children to play. Because the Montessori bells are a lovely and extremely expensive piece of equipment to buy, we have made a software equivalent of the first few activities usually done with the bells. We suggest that parents and teachers present and supervise the activities as they would the real bells. We think it will be worthwhile for adults to spend a bit of time familiarising themselves with our bells themselves before presenting them to a child, in order to avoid frustrating the child with any confusion. We suggest that the bells be introduced at a stage when the child is showing interest in music or singing.
