Jason Wells
Guest Clinician |
Jason Wells founded
Ring of Fire in 1997 at
Tualatin Valley Jr. Academy, in
Hillsboro,
Oregon. During his "formative" years as a
high school handbell ringer in southern
California, he remembers attending a concert of Katsumi Kodama's Glee Ringers from Japan
and being inspired to chase a similar dream here in America: Walking out on stage with a vibrant choir, playing the most
exciting music written for handbells, and doing it all from the heart!
While in college in Massachusetts,
Jason studied music, performing trumpet with the New England Youth Ensemble in 26 countries as
well as five times in
Carnegie Hall, under the direction of choral great
John Rutter. In 1993
Jason started his first handbell
choir on the small island of
Palau, thousands of miles from anywhere. It was in 1996 that
Jason accepted a teaching job at
Tualatin Valley Junior Academy and soon organized
Ring of Fire.
Jason currently serves as a clinician throughout the U.S. and
Canada, energizing choirs and working to spread his passion for excellence in handbells.
We are delighted to have him join us for this cruise.
