Handbell Resources
Section outline

Handbell ringing is easier than you may think. It is fun in its own right and much more mentally stimulating than tower bells. On handbells there obviously isn’t 70ft of rope to worry about and the bells weigh considerably less than the ‘small car’ we regularly seek to control swinging above our heads. The downside is you do have to ring two bells at a time.
These resources are aimed at those learning to ring handbells, with a chapter for handbell teachers at the end of the book.

The LtR Handbell programme can be used by ringers joining established handbell bands as well as those wishing to start a new handbell band. Calling and conducting skills are developed in tandem with method ringing.

These resources are based on the work of Duncan Loweth and Helen McGregor which formed the basis of the Learning the Ropes Handbells scheme. Thank you Duncan and Helen!
