About this Product:

You can use the smaller Gankogui Double Bell with Stick in your classroom to introduce students to rhythm and world music in an accessible and fun way. This compact percussion instrument produces two distinct tones, allowing students to explore creating simple rhythms and experimenting with sound. As students play with the smaller Gankogui, they develop essential musical skills like timing, pattern recognition, and hand coordination, while gaining a hands-on understanding of musical dynamics. The double bell also encourages group participation, as students can take turns, play in sync with others, and build collaborative rhythm patterns, promoting teamwork and active listening. This instrument is a great way to make music education engaging and culturally enriching, helping students connect with global traditions and build their confidence in music.
