  • Dear Music Box Friends,

    It is time to jingle all the way through the holidays and the winter months with these jingle bell favorites. There is bell ringing for every age group.

    For a little history on the most popular bell song, that has been mislabeled at some schools as a Christmas song, check out this Jingle Bells blog. TIP! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the blog to see some links for awesome videos and resources for jingle bell activities for both early childhood and elementary.

    Free to Music Box Members!

    Can we add your district's music supervisor or principal to our list to inform them about professional development opportunities for you and your fellow teachers? Many school districts are paying for their teachers to train online and we have an increase in school districts paying for their teachers to come to the live training in the summer. Many have scheduled workshops during the school year. We are happy to contact your district's music supervisor, principal, or in-service coordinator to get you more training and resources. Please fill out the short survey below.

    Happy Music Making,
