The art of handbell ringing dates back hundreds of years. The Pamela Brown Handbell Choir aims to develop and promote handbell ringing in Melbourne for those curious to learn a new instrument or develop their existing musical skills.
Beginner group: suitable for those with limited or no musical experience. Can't read music? This is your group.
Advanced Group: suitable for those who already read music well and play at least one instrument. Don't be fooled by what might seem like an easy instrument. Advanced handbell ringing is sure to challenge even the most accomplished musician.
Classified as a percussion instrument, handbell ringing is suitable for ages 10 and over. People with an interest in Classical music, percussion, juggling, mathematics or choral music would likely find handbells challenging and enjoyable.
