Four-in-Hand, Linda's Way! - Linda Krantz
Playing a pair of bells in each hand isn't that difficult, especially when you can learn from someone who really knows how it's done!
Movement and Presentation - Kevin McChesney
Kevin McChesney has a way of teaching handbells and how they work in performance or service that can add wonderfully to the way they excite and engage those to listen and watch. While Kevin himself won't be in San Diego, we do have a DVD that he's created which will be a great learning experience!

D.L. will demonstrate standard as well as interesting variations of the typical techniques, including Singing Bell Sticks!
