The Joy of Handbells

Alegria Bells brings the joy of handbells to everyone, with no musical experience required. It turns a piece of music into a scrolling visual track — watch the screen, ring your bell when it tells you to, and play along with the rest of your choir.

↑ Live demo. Tap or press any key to start the sound.

What it does

See what to play

Notes scroll across the screen from right to left, color-coded to match the KidsPlay handbell colors. When a note reaches the play line, it's time to ring.

Play together

Multiple tablets sync to the same beat, so every player sees their own bell highlighted on their own screen. Set the music in front of each ringer instead of crowding around one display.

Coming in a future release.

Bring your own music

Photograph a page of sheet music with your phone and Alegria Bells turns it into a playable piece — no manual transcription. Or import MusicXML from MuseScore, Finale, or Sibelius.

Coming in a future release.

Who it's for

Church handbell choirs: Practice individual parts at home, rehearse together with shared tempo, and perform with everyone on the same page.
Families with KidsPlay bells: Kids ring colored bells by matching the colors on screen. No reading music, no parent reading music to them.
Music educators: Bring handbells into the classroom with a near-zero learning curve. Students play recognizable pieces on their first session.
Anyone who's wanted to make music: You don't need to read notation. If you can match a color, you can play.
