Doctorate in Handbells: Clarification

[Derek H]

I should have clarified what I meant.

I am seeking someone with a Doctorate in Handbells. I thought I heard or read at some point in time that there were at least two individuals who had either a PhD or an EdD in handbells Or a PhD/EdD in music with a focus on handbells.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I'm imagining things, also please let me know. It has happened before :).

Appreciate you all!

Christian Guebert’s doctoral dissertation was all about extended techniques on handbells. 

Elizabeth Mays Loebig is working on her doctoral dissertation now & while I don’t remember the details, I know it’s about handbells. (And Christian is on her committee.)

I believe Kimberlee Strepka’s doctoral dissertation was about Laban movement and handbells. 

Those are the ones I know about. 

Hope that helps!
