Bells Carrying Case Idea #3

A big thank you to Michelle Waltman for sharing her bells case design!  If anyone has anymore ideas, please feel free to email me so I can share them here!

 "We ended up with a plastic tool box lined with foam and foam glued to the top of the box.  I got both items for less than $15 at Walmart.  The foam was a set of chair pads from the fabric dept.  I'm saying all of this in case anyone else asks or needs ideas...lol.  Or maybe I am the only one that overthinks this stuff...lolEmojiEmoji"



"I did add the cardboard dividers that came with the bells but I am going to look for something plastic to replace it."

Carrying Case Information

I had a few people ask me about carrying cases for the bells.  I did a preliminary search and found a soft case on Amazon.  It was originally made for hand bells, but I'm not sure which brand or type. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F5CUQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As you can see, the bells fit rather snug.  There are dividers, but they do not separate all the bells.  I feel confident this would work for me since I like the compact size of the case and I can make a point to be gentle with them.  Here is my son carrying the case for reference.  He's 4.  You can't tell from the picture, but the bells were ringing in the black case, which made him want to jump and jiggle the bells all the more, making my heart sink in to my stomach. I then emailed Prodigies for their suggestion.  They preferred a hard art case.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P1S7NQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_...

Introduction to the class and Bells Purchase

Greetings!  All of you have registered your child (or children) to be a part of the Prodigies Music Class.  I can't tell you how excited I am to bring music theory into the lives of your students in this colorful and interactive format.  My name is Katie Huffman and I was a General Music teacher in the 501 district for 8 years.  During that time, I was introduced to the Preschool Prodigies curriculum, but the format of the classes and the limited resources of the public school system left me unable to teach the program to its fullest.  I am excited to bring to your student the full experience.  If you want to learn a bit more about the music program you signed up for, here is a short promotional video: Prodigies Promo Video As you can see from the video, the main instrument used in this program is a set of desk bells.  These are bells that can be played with a single tapping motion, and not the bells you have to pick up and "ring".  ...
