Embodiments described herein provide a musical performance system that produces a set of signals or cues to individual members of a choir or group of musical instruments as to when each member is to play their particular instrument. Typically, the musical instrument is comprised of a handbell as used in bell choirs. The system alerts, e.g., via vibration or light, children or physically challenged individuals at a predetermined, specified time such that they may perform music with the correct rhythm and timing. The system comprises a computer readable medium for storing data, a musical instrument digital interface unit, a sequencer, a sending unit, and at least one receiving unit.
