Abstract
Handbell ringing can be an enjoyable and educational experience for blind and visually handicapped students. Ringers should learn their parts from printed music or from braille music prepared according to the system of notation suggested here. The best ringers, those who read well, should be placed in the treble area, where music is most complex. Each ringer should be assigned a frequently rung bell and an infrequently rung bell so that he can easily ring with one hand and read with the other. Thus, handbell choirs composed of blind and visually handicapped ringers can be independently functioning units and can ring a number of pieces.
