Colour-coded learning

The colour-coded bars provide a simple and engaging way for beginners to identify notes and follow colour-based teaching resources. As pupils become more confident, the instrument also helps bridge the gap between colour recognition and traditional music notation, supporting long-term musical development.

Bright, accurately tuned sound

The precision-tuned steel note bars produce a clear, bright tone with excellent sustain, making melodies easy to hear in both individual practice and ensemble playing. Accurate tuning ensures the instrument blends well with other classroom percussion, allowing pupils to perform together with confidence.

The Percussion Plus Colour & Play series

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:

• Wak-a-Tubes
• PP271 & PP274 handbells
• PP275 & PP276 combi bells
• and PP015 hand chimes among others
