Learning to Ring—Janet Van Valley &
Susan Berry.
A comprehensive handbell and
handchime curriculum, this series is based on
the premise that ringing skills should be taught
in conjunction with rhythmic skills. The series
is designed to aid the director with the tools
necessary to develop skills in new ringers, even if
they do not read music! Introductory lessons lead
logically to "hands on" experience, and as ringers
grow in skill and confidence they will be exposed
to special effects such as the use of mallets and
multiple bell techniques. Three collections of
supplemental exercises via familiar hymns and folk
songs are sequenced to follow the lessons in the
Director's Manual. They begin as full block chord
accompaniment under a sung melody and progress
to more challenging compositional treatments with
bells alone. (Available in 2 or 3 Octaves.)
