Handbell Musicians of America will be offering a Solo Ringing Masterclass with Linda Krantz at Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church (Cincinnati, OH). The Solo Ringing Masterclass is for soloists who want to polish up an existing piece, get help to block a piece using Traveling-4-in-hand that they want to play (but haven’t yet), or to take a piece they already know and relearn it with Traveling-4-in-hand. Group discussion and collaboration among participants will also occur. The session concludes with a private showcase where the solo ringers will perform their pieces with piano accompaniment for each other.
Six soloists will have the opportunity to work on their skills in solo ringing, and an application is required to be considered, along with a video link of the applicant solo ringing. Videos should be from the last 12 months, and recorded from in front of the applicant to allow for a clear view of their ringing and bells on the table. Application information for the 2028 masterclass will be shared in fall 2027.
