Interview with:  Stevie Berryman

Bio:

A hard-working Luthedist, Stevie Berryman serves as the Director of Handbells at Kinsmen Lutheran Church and Lakewood United Methodist Church. She also volunteers her assistance with the fourth grade chimes choirs at Hassler Elementary School, placing her as director, assistant, or ringer in eight different bell rehearsals a week. Stevie began ringing handbells 20 years ago as a founding member of the Soli Deo Gloria Youth Handbell Choir at St. Stephen's UMC in Broken Arrow, OK. She's been ringing ever since all over the country, and is a former member of the Houston Bronze Ensemble. She has a particular passion for teaching children how to ring, and her innovative methods have made her a sought after educator at handbell festivals. When not in rehearsal, Stevie teaches music at Kinsmen Children's Academy. Stevie also plays violin and piano, and especially enjoys those times she can perform with her husband Paul, and their children Evan and Portia. She is also a founding member and President of the Board of Directors for the Houston Chamber Ringers.
