About

I’m Mareike Davis from Phoenix, Arizona and I’ve been playing handbells since 2000.

I began performing solos and duets in 2014. In January 2017, I published the sheet music for my first self-arranged solo and have been steadily adding to my published library of arrangements since then. In mid-2017, I also published my first original composition. All my works can be found on Sheet Music Plus. I’ve also posted many of the performances by Mountain View Lutheran Church Bells of Praise in Phoenix, Arizona on YouTube.

While pursuing a Master’s degree in Norway from 2016 to 2018, I established a handbell choir in Trondheim, one of only three in all of Norway, and acted as its music director.

I spent most of 2014 and 2015 designing and prototyping a new type of portable handbell table cover which Mountain View Lutheran Church Bells of Praise has been using since 2015. In 2020, I developed the BellCozy, an accessory designed to help protect a heavy metal ringer's hands from the weight of the bell. In 2021, I started the website Vreana as a way to spread the word about the existence of independent publishers.
