The Bells

Once a week, our music teacher Adriana visits each Casa classroom to teach a couple of children how to play the Montessori bells. This activity consists of a series of bells from middle C to high C. First, the children learn how to play an individual bell with a mallet and a damper. Then they progress to matching and grading the tones. Eventually, the children will be able to play familiar tunes such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. Recently, the children have been learning how to play the song “A Visit to the Farm”.
