Frequently Asked Questions
Q? What does it mean when I buy music that is for 2-3
octaves?
A:
That means that the music includes only those notes within that
range of handbells. Two octaves of bells range from G4 - G6. Three
octaves of bells range from C4-C7. As we "add" octaves, we add out
in both directions! So, four octaves would be from G3-G7, and five
octaves means C3-C8.
Q? Who do I talk to about starting a bell choir at my
church or school?
A: Any of the board members would be glad to help you out! Please contact Kathy Leonard for a list of Handbell Musicians of America members in your neighborhood.
