2 Bells Mounted in a child's hands
This set of two mounted bells, tuned to the musical note E, forms an key piece of the Montessori bells material for auditory discrimination and musical education. Each bell features a polished metal dome that produces a clear, resonant tone when struck, mounted on a stable square base for precise placement during matching and grading activities. The identical pitch allows children to explore concepts of sound matching, develop acute listening skills, and begin their journey into musical notation.
Auditory Discrimination
Matching identical pitches develops acute listening skills and prepares for more complex sound grading work.
Musical Foundation
Introduction to specific musical notes builds understanding of pitch relationships and notation systems.
Concentration Development
Focused listening to subtle sound qualities enhances attention span and mindful awareness.
Sensorial Refinement
Isolating the sense of hearing through bell work strengthens overall sensory perception and discrimination abilities.
How to present it
Place both E bells on a table mat, spacing them about 12 inches apart. Have a small mallet ready. Ensure the environment is quiet to allow full concentration on the sounds.
- 1Strike the first E bell gently with the mallet, listening until the sound completely fades
- 2Strike the second E bell with the same gentle motion
- 3Alternate striking each bell, allowing the child to observe they produce the same sound
- 4Invite the child to strike each bell themselves, discovering the matching sounds
- 5Play a listening game where you strike one bell while the child closes their eyes, then they find and strike the matching bell
3 tips for parents
- Support bell work at home by creating quiet moments for focused listening to everyday sounds
- When your child works with the E bells at school, avoid rushing to label the note - let them explore the sound quality first
- Notice how your child's listening skills from bell work transfer to improved attention during conversations and music

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there two bells with the same E note instead of different pitches?
Having two identical E-tuned bells is fundamental for the Montessori matching exercise, where children first learn to identify when two sounds are the same before progressing to distinguishing different pitches. This builds a strong foundation for auditory discrimination.
What activities can children do with these two E bells?
Children can practice sound matching by striking both bells and confirming they produce the same tone, play memory games where they listen to one bell then find its match, and use them as part of the complete bell set for pitch grading exercises and early musical composition.
How do these bells support sensorial development in 3-6 year olds?
The bells refine auditory discrimination skills, develop concentration through careful listening, enhance hand-eye coordination when striking, and isolate the sense of hearing as children focus solely on sound quality rather than visual differences.
What materials are the bells made from and how should they be maintained?
The bells feature polished metal domes that produce clear, resonant tones mounted on stable square bases. Clean the metal surfaces regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their shine and sound quality, and ensure the striker is stored properly to prevent damage.
How do these E bells fit into the complete Montessori bells material?
These E bells are part of the larger Montessori bells set that typically includes 13 pairs of bells spanning a chromatic scale. They can be used alone for initial matching work or integrated with other bell pairs for advanced exercises in pitch recognition and musical intervals.
