This set of scores uses colored noteheads corresponding to the Boomwhackers® color scheme. Only filled noteheads (quarter and eighth notes) are used so the notes are full color and easier to see (this does not indicate the bells need to be silenced immediately before the next beat). Also, only quarter and eighth rests are used to help visualize the number of beats per measure. All sharps and flats are displayed as well (shown in the key of C); a helpful reminder for beginning musicians.
Notes used for each instrument are as follows: Bells ~ C, D, D#, E, F, G, A, B-flat, and C* where C* is high C, one octave above middle C
Boomwhackers® ~ C, D, D#, E, F, G, A, and B-flat
