Handbells rest on a table during an International Handbell Symposium in Vancouver in 2016. New West children are being given a chance to learn the instrument for free in a new handbell choir forming at Queens Avenue United Church.

Do you have a young person in your house who’s interested in music?

Boys and girls are invited to join a new children’s handbell choir, which will meet on Mondays at Queens Avenue United Church, running from Oct. 15 to Dec. 3. Children in grades 3 to 7 are welcome, and rehearsals go from 3:45 to 5 p.m.

There’s no fee involved in joining – which means your child will get to learn music for free. There's a limit of 11 ringers, so be sure to sign up early if you're interested.

If you’re interested, contact the church at 604-522-1606 or email director Virginia Barteluk at musicatqueens@gmail.com.
