The Percussion Plus PP2177 27 colour note chromatic glockenspiel is an engaging classroom instrument designed to help young musicians develop pitch recognition, note reading and melodic playing. With 27 accurately tuned colour-coded note bars covering more than two octaves, it provides a clear visual approach to learning music.
Each note bar is colour coded and engraved with its note name, helping learners make the connection between written notation and the instrument. Supplied with a protective carry case and a pair of wooden beaters, the PP2177 is ready for use straight out of the box.
With a range from G59 to A85, the PP2177 offers over two octaves of chromatic notes, allowing students to play a wide variety of melodies and classroom repertoire. The chromatic layout also introduces learners to the arrangement of notes found on keyboard instruments, supporting wider musical development.
Teaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.
Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique - the Colour & Play series.
All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!
The bars are colour-coded to match the following products:
