Teaching Stedman Doubles

by Richard Dowdeswell,

from Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset

I teach Stedman by separating the front work from the back work.

The front work is Stedman Singles, with one or more bells as tenor cover (Stedman is, after all, a three bell method - indeed in those days most towers only had 3 bells).

The back work is Cloisters Doubles which is a very easy method to learn, and the singles are the same as in Stedman.
