Change ringing is the traditional British style of ringing bells. We follow mathematical patterns instead of sheet music to ring up to 8 large tower bells with each bell controlled by a single rope. We ring the bells at Church of the Advent and Old North Church in Boston.
We have organized a several open practices particularly to focus on beginners. We ask that you attend one of these sessions first before coming to our regular practices in order to get an in-depth introduction to change ringing and one-on-one instruction.
If you are unable to make one of these special sessions but are still interested in learning to ring, please contact us.
Please wear comfortable, warm clothes. No previous musical experience necessary. We often go out to for a bite to eat after practice, and you are welcome to join us.

An introduction to the traditional British way of ringing bells called change ringing. Because of the way the bells are hung in a church tower, we do not ring tunes on the bells. Instead, we ring permutations of the bell orders by following particular mathematical patterns. Come hear about change-ringing, listen to us practice on handbells, and learn how to do it yourself.
