Percussion Plus 27 colour note chromatic glockenspiel

27 Colour note chromatic glockenspiel

The Percussion Plus PP2177 27 colour note chromatic glockenspiel is an engaging classroom instrument designed to help young musicians develop pitch recognition, note reading and melodic playing. With 27 accurately tuned colour-coded note bars covering more than two octaves, it provides a clear visual approach to learning music.

Each note bar is colour coded and engraved with its note name, helping learners make the connection between written notation and the instrument. Supplied with a protective carry case and a pair of wooden beaters, the PP2177 is ready for use straight out of the box. We also supply the Percussion Plus 15 colour note diatonic glockenspiel to accompany and support the chromatic glockenspiel.

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
