Pathways: A Handbell Workshop @ Church in the Wildwood
PATHWAYS: A HANDBELL WORKSHOP
Saturday, October 10 | 9:00 am – 5:30 pm
Church in the Wildwood | Green Mountain Falls, Colorado
Five years ago, Church in the Wildwood invited us into the mountains with an idea: what if we created a weekend where handbell musicians could learn, grow, make music together, and experience what this instrument can do?
This October, we’re delighted to return to Green Mountain Falls for our fifth annual Handbell Workshop and Concert in the Wildwood!
Whether you’ve been ringing for years, are still getting comfortable behind a bell table, or are picking up handbells for the very first time, there’s a pathway for you:
Path A – Building the Basics
New to handbells, or coming back after some time away? Start here. We’ll build a strong foundation in ringing and damping, bell changes, passes, weaving, music reading, and more.
Path B – Strengthening Your Skills
Already comfortable with the basics? Spend the day refining your technique and adding tools to your ringing toolbox, including motion, mallets, weaving and displacement, and multiple bells in hand.
Path C – Ringing for the Joy of It
Sometimes the best way to grow is simply to ring! This path is designed for experienced ringers who want to spend the day making music, reading a variety of repertoire, and exploring technique as it comes up along the way.
Whichever path you choose, our goal is the same: that you leave at the end of the day a more confident, thoughtful, and joyful musician than when you arrived.
Workshop registration (including a catered lunch) is $50 this year, thanks to the generous support of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund.
To those who have already registered – we thank you!
If you’ve been considering joining us, now is your chance! To allow us to provide individual attention, space is limited. Registration closes as paths fill.
