From Sight to Sound: Improvisational Games for Classical Musicians
This was an interesting read as a ringer who occasionally helps teach kids. Much of the information was not new in the slightest - it seems that anyone with any experience ringing is not the intended audience for this book. The chapters on distributing and assigning bells were made doubly long by explaining the author's unconventional distribution system, which seems overly complicated. She also thinks of the bells above C7 as "floater bells", distributed differently depending on the piece. This baffled me - surely your ringers can four-in-hand? But although there was mention of Shelly ringing in this book, it actually never even mentioned four-in-hand. This was my first foray into the handbell literature, as it were. It was certainly interesting to see how choirs can differ, and despite the weirdness, I did come away with some new information.
