The Xylophone or the Glockenspiel are great options for everyone to easily play their favorite tunes when taking their first steps in music. On the one hand they are less costly than a piano or a guitar, on the other hand they don’t require very special skills.

Also the xylophone and the glockenspiel are two musical instruments for both children and preschool teachers alike. Younger children under the age of 6 can manage their mallets and accompany nursery rhymes with a musical instrument. The older ones, especially preschool / elementary teachers, will inspire children to sing by playing the song on the glockenspiel!

Choose from the list we have prepared for you with the easiest glockenspiel and xylophone songs for mallets and get started. The list is in order of priority: from the easiest to… just easy! When you have practiced enough, go on to amplify your repertoire by finding more in Singing Bell’s comprehensive collection.

Pick a rather well-tuned glockenspiel or xylophone (better not a toy xylophone, though) and don’t forget to use both hands, both mallets!
