An opportunity to polish our pieces under a nationally known clinician's direction. We will also learn many valuable ideas about improving our ringing skills.
We will publish our leveled class selections for 2024 before registration begins. Directors or orphans will be emailed a link to sign up for classes around the first part of February
Classes will be leveled by Tins and Coppers
We will continue our leveled workshop format. Music will be chosen in Level 2 (Tins), Level 3 (Coppers) and Massed Ringing Level 2+. Four pieces total for each group.

An on-site workshop tailored to your needs might be just what you are looking for. Fees depend on length of workshop and number of Palmetto Bronze ringers needed to do the workshop.
Techniques, musicality, bell changes, sight reading skills, mallets, 4 in hand/Shelley (beginning or advanced), bass bells, or we can work on your own repertoire.
