Michèle has developed the choreography listed here for various pieces of published music for solo/ensemble handbells. This choreography differs from that published with the pieces, sometimes only a little but sometimes quite a lot. 


Feel free to use this choreography! It's here so that we don't all have to re-invent the wheel every time we learn a new solo or ensemble piece! 


If you've got suggestions for improvements to any of the choreography here, or if you've got choreography of your own for a piece that you don't see listed here, please submit it for posting.  All submissions are welcome!
