 Color the Patterns to Match Hand Bells | When I was a child, coloring books were just for kids. Now one of the biggest hobby trends is coloring books for adults. Many are finding that coloring helps them de-stress and relax because filling in designs with color allows people to calm their minds and focus on a simple activity. |
 | A new option to the coloring book genre is the book Popular 8 Note Songs Music Patterns to Color by Debra Newby. Instead of coloring mandalas or geometric patterns, kids and adults alike can color rectangular boxes that correspond to the movement of notes in various songs. |
The song patterns can then be used to create music with any instrument that has eight notes in a C to C scale.
| If you have a multi-colored glockenspiel, xylophone or hand bells, you can chose colors that exactly match your instrument. For those playing recorder, piano and other instruments, musicians can chose their favorite colors for each note on the patterns. Be sure to be consistent. Once you chose a color for a note – let’s say the color red for the “C” note, then all the “C” notes throughout the entire book should be colored red. |  Color the Patterns to Match a Wood Xylophone |

Even if you do not color the rectangular boxes, you can still play the songs by reading the lettered notes below each box, so you can play the music patterns with or without color.
