Workshop Information:
With over 250 years of combined bell experience, including solo, ensemble,
directing, and composing, BOC has a variety of knowledge and experience
to share with ringers in your area. Depending on the distance we have to
travel to your area, a typical workshop is an all day event with BOC providing
a concert in the evening. Registration and a fee is required for the workshop
but the concert is free (we generally take a free will offering to help
cover our expenses). Ringers attending the workshop may select from a variety
of classes. Some of the possible choices include:
Beginning/Basic Ringing
Treble Techniques
Bass Techniques
Solo and Ensemble Ringing
Ringing Musically
Ringing and Fitness
Rhythm and Team Building
Change Ringing
Ringing Musically
Bell Maintenance
AND many more.
The number of classes offered generally depends on the number of registrants,
facility size, and host preference.
