Editors' Choice New Basic Library A Cappella Available via ePrint Downloadable All Prices in U.S. Dollars & Subject To Publisher Revision 16 Classroom & Learning | Rhythm & Coordination Drills The Art of Rapid Ringing—Fred A. Merritt. Develop skills in rapid ringing. This manual includes philosophy, basic principles, warm-ups to develop the kinesthetic senses, and practical exercises for the choir. Each ringer should have his or her own copy and should prepare the music by marking it and using an accent to show the strong pulses wherever applicable. Although written primarily for three-octave choirs, four- and five-octave choirs can easily adapt to it. 9545416 Handbell Book . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4.50 9545417 Handbell Ringer's Sheet . . . . . . . .3.75 Basic Training 2: Rhythm Training for Ringers —Venita MacGorman. This valuable teaching tool is built on the premise that every ringer should learn each new skill that is presented in the rehearsal setting. In each lesson, a new rhythmic pattern or time signature is practiced, first in unpitched notation, then in unison exercises, and finally in a short musical example in which all ringers play the newly learned element. In addition, you'll find arrangements of folk songs, hymns, spirituals and classical literature that can be used outside the rehearsal environment for live presentations. 10029251 2-5 Octave Handbells Collection . . . . . .
