Chime Bars

Chime Bars are tuned percussion instruments with clear, bell-like notes – ideal for fast melody and pattern work in schools. Start with 1-note or 3-note models for listening games. Then move up to an 8-note bar or the colour-coded 8-bar C-major set (C64–C76) in a carry case. They suit EYFS to Secondary, including SEND, and they work well for ostinatos, simple ensemble lines, and cueing. Most options include beaters, so you can begin straight away and keep everything stored together.

Clear pitch supports whole-class organisation. … read more …
