Handchimes at Quest

We are ringing handchimes at school this year! Quest was selected to participate in the handchime loan program sponsored by Area 1 of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers (AGEHR.) We have received a three octave (37 note) set of handchimes, music, and teaching materials.

Handchimes

Upper Elementary and Middle School have both started working with the handchimes and are excited about being able to play instrumental music as an ensemble. Our handchime music will include arrangements of classical themes, popular, and traditional songs, and secular music composed for handchimes.

Here's some video of a children's group playing Beethoven's Ode to Joy on handchimes.
