As this course is run by an external tutor we need a minimum of 10 students in order to run it.  If that is not achieved then the course will be re-scheduled to early 2027

Objectives:

The course is suitable for all ringers, especially those who are keen to understand the listening skill better. It is particularly suitable for teachers of ringers since they will pass on what they learn to a larger number of people. The aims are:

  1. To give insights into the listening process and how to develop listening skills
  2. To use practical tasks to exercise participants' listening skills
  3. To encourage interaction and sharing of ideas
  4. To give the impetus for further development

Lead by John Harrison this course is slightly longer than the 1st Saturday method ringing courses.

10.00 Coffee
10.15 Welcome by host organisation
10.20 Why listening is important and why it gets neglected
         Listening skills and how to develop them
         Demonstration of listening tutor and recorded ringing 11.40 Move to tower
