Bell Ringing Sequences

I have just been on the telephone talking 'education' to one of our members and she mentioned no one had taught her any other changes other than rounds, so here are a few popular ones for 6 bells.

1 2 3 4 5 6 (Rounds)

1 3 5 2 4 6 (Queens)

5 3 1 2 4 6 (Kings) (also known as Whittington's)

1 4 2 5 3 6 (Tittums)

3 4 2 5 1 6 (Exploding Tittums)

5 4 3 2 1 6 (Reverse Rounds)

There are a few others, but these are the popular ones.  I am happy to discuss how to call the bells to these sequences.

However,  I quite often start my learners off by just 'pulling off' in one the different changes.  It gets the learner to starting thinking about following different bells, without the fear of worrying who they follow, and changing speed.
