Little Bell Laboratories

Little Bell Glockenspiel Art Research Institute (小钟琴艺术研究院) is a Chinese organization focused on the musical potential development of young children. The company's main offering is a patented, 16-tone glockenspiel-like instrument known as the "Little Glockenspiel" (小钟琴), which was created in 2001. This instrument is designed for children aged three to ten and is central to the company's educational approach.

The firm has developed a comprehensive music enlightenment program that integrates the instrument with a curriculum designed to be engaging and effective. The program aims to teach musical fundamentals such as pitch, rhythm, and sight-reading while also developing hand-eye coordination and memory. The business model is primarily B2B, targeting kindergartens and other educational institutions. Little Bell provides partner schools with a complete package that includes the instruments, curriculum, course development, product support, and teacher training, functioning similarly to a franchise or partnership system. The institute handles research and development, grading and assessment, and consulting services to help schools implement its music program.
