Proven in classroom and concert, Square One builds ringer confidence and knowledge step by confident step. Note reading on the staff and good ringing technique are introduced with carefully planned first-ringing experiences. Sixteen successive lessons, lettered A through P, are crafted to build skills and use rote/unison & chordal exercises, engaging etudes, and assessment pages. Square One’s teaching method uses two important pedagogical tools: 1. “Screen projection” presentation for teaching materials using either a digital format like Google Slides, PowerPoint, Smart Board - or hard copies using a Document Camera/Visualizer or Overhead transparencies. This method of visual presentation allows the teacher to guide all ringers’ attention directly through a single visual example or score. Ringers can focus on the skill at hand while they learn to read notes and track a musical score as the director leads. 2. “Unison Exercises” in which all ringers play the same example at the same time: A single-line staff with the line note and the space note below it representing the two bells in hand for every ringer. These unison exercises introduce each new skill and theory lesson in a simplified format that includes every ringer, making teaching time more efficient and effective. Written by a well-respected handbell educator/composer/director/clinician with 15 years of classroom experience and 30 years of experience composing for and directing all levels of ringers; and edited by a cadre of experienced handbell educators, [...]

This is contrasted with the entrance of an intense, allegro section leading to the introduction of the hymn tune ARISE. The concluding section returns to the allegro mood. The composer has included the hymn tunes FILLI ET FILLAE and ARISE within the work.
