This book is an exploration of how creative groups find their purpose and identity, how they problem-solve to reach their goals, how the culture of the group informs their creative processes, and how their contributions to the artistic community enrich lives – theirs and others.
Praise from handbell musicians:
A truly engaging peek 'behind-the-curtain' of a ground-breaking group and their collaborative process, both the good and the bad. Campanile were not only 'trend-setters', but are truly the giants upon whose shoulders the rest of us must stand. Anybody who collaborates, or works with creative people, should read this book! Michèle Sharik - Musician, Timbre, The Golden Dance
This volume is a full course in the artistic and practical aspects of collaboration and the creative process. More importantly, it is the engaging story of artists with a generous heart for music and the people who bring it to life. Kevin McChesney - Composer, Conductor, Teacher
This easy and fun book clearly explores the fascinating background and process of creative collaboration as well as a look into the individuals boldly stepping into new territory with the handbell instrument. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to expand their own creative soul. Nancy Jessup - Musician, Educator, Author
