Handbell Musicians of America Membership
As a member of Handbell Musicians of America (The Guild), your annual dues bring you access to a large variety of resources and literature, opportunities for ringer and director instruction at all levels, and fellowship in a national community of like-minded individuals. Most importantly, your support as a member of the Guild insures the continued growth and development of handbell and handchime ringing.
The opportunities, resources, and musical literature available to handbell musicians today are a direct result of the dedication and financial support of past members of the Guild. Likewise, the future of handbell and handchime ringing in America and around the world depends on our support and involvement today. Please consider becoming a member and helping to pave the way for your own ensemble and for future generations of handbell and handchime musicians.
Membership in the Guild is open to full ensembles as well as to individuals. Here are just some of the resources and opportunities available to you at the national, Area and local levels, as a member of our community of musicians. More benefits…
