How to Ring a Choir Chime
Choir chimes are aluminum tubes tuned to emit a specific note via the striking of a small clapper attached to the tube. The tubes are easy to play, making them useful for choirs and school vocal groups that may require additional sound for songs but don't want to use complex instruments. Chimes played by a group also create soothing, upbeat music without the need for additional instrumental or vocal sounds.

Pick up the choir chime and hold it in one hand as if you were holding a torch up to see by. Turn it so that the clapper is upright and facing you.

2
Tilt your wrist and forearm back. This causes the clapper to slide back.

3
Bring your wrist and arm forward to a sudden stop. This causes the clapper to swing forward and strike the tuned tines at the top of the chime. It should make a noise.

Repeat the process to create multiple notes with the chime. Hold the chime higher up on the chime tube or lower to create a louder or softer note.
