Episode 034: Bryn Reinstadler on “Calling It Round”

• Bryn Reinstadler is a ringer and conductor from Boston, co-creator of Ringing Room, and has twice previously appeared on Treble’s Going to discuss MIT’s Interterm Activity Period course on change ringing (May 2020) and Ringing Room’s first birthday (March 2021, with Leland Kuzmer).
• This time, Bryn’s here to discuss her forthcoming book on calling and conducting: Calling it Round. We discuss learning to call and conduct, some of the “softer” skills of bandleading, and what it’s been like to return to ringing in person with full bands.
• Calling It Round grew out of Bryn’s work on the Achieving Gender Balance in Ringing workgroup of the Central Council. Articles describing their work product can be found in many issues of Ringing World through 2020. Bryn especially recommends to your attention the Special Issue on Women in Ringing, no. 5716 of 13 November 2020 (requires subscription and Bellboard login).

Thank you, friends.

Bells: Kent School ca. 2003, unknown band.
