Introduction to Change Ringing on Handbells

An introduction to the pattern-based style of bellringing called change ringing.  Instead of tunes, we ring permutations of the bell orders generated by mathematical algorithms.  This style was developed for English tower bells to meet the constraints of their striking frequency.

In these IAP sessions with the MIT Guild of Bellringers, you will learn patterns and immediately start making music on handbells.  Come give this real-time cooperative sport a try!  You are welcome for any part of any session.
