You get it all for one low price. Never before has so much information been put together in one place, for such a low price. Other handbell training video's sell for $50.00. I wanted to keep the price very low so every handbell ringer can afford to own this Comprehensive document that you will refer to as long as you are ringing.

I appreciate your videos, as someone who has not played , actually directed in years, I needed a quick brush up. Your videos were the absolute answer. You obviously do not know me so if I may I just would like to give you a brief background. I am a concert organist and pianist, classical music; I have accompanied several soloist from the Metropolitan Opera/NYC, played too many plays to remember; am a studio/session player for rock/jazz/pop, and last and not least, am the director of music/organist/pianist/choir director/chief cook and bottle washer for a church, a position I have held at several church's since I was 10, dating back to1967. In other words i have been around, and am very impressed by your collection of videos, they should be marketed and you should be compensated for such exemplary work. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to not just Handbells, but the music community as a whole. Please feel free to contact me if ever I can return the favor.

I greatly appreciate this posting. It (along with your others) was very helpful in my efforts to learn to conduct a handbell choir without ever having been a ringer.

Dear Rod,
I have been a Director of Music for over twenty years yet have never had the opportunity to learn how to play handbells much less teach a handbell choir. I am just about to start the wonderful online course that you have created. Thank you so much for doing this!
Could you please tell me how I could order that book titled "Handbells Ringers Bible"? I have a music doctorate in pipe organ major, piano minor, concentration in both vocal and orchestral conducting. I am hoping that learning this new task won't be too difficult. I am thinking about the possibility of beginning a handbell choir on my next church job.
Thank you again Sir!
