A how-to book for new directors and ringers, this educational book introduces handbells and handchimes and provides clear descriptions and illustrations of many handbell techniques. Original compositions were written specifically to allow practice and exploration of each technique before combining them with other techniques. Each piece is playable on handbells and handchimes, although some techniques do not apply to handchimes. The music in this collection is written for two- and three-octave ringing ensembles.
