FCC Handbell Ensemble

This course is open to adult and student musicians with music reading skills and prior music ensemble experience. Handbell experience is helpful but not required. Students will study elements of melody, harmony, and rhythm in a variety of handbell arrangements. Flexibility in approaching bell assignments is essential, as the group often plays in ‘ensemble style,’ with more than two bells assigned per ringer. Contact the instructor, Barbara Scheffter (BScheffter@frederick.edu) for information and audition requirements.
