| Conducting in change ringing is the role of supervising a piece of ringing such as a plain course of a method or a touch. The conductor is nominated either jointly by the band, by the tower captain or ringing master of a practice or service ringing, or by the arranger of a quarterpeal or peal. The role only survives a particular piece of ringing as different ringers may be assigned the role for each touch at a ringing practice. The conductor also rings a bell or pair of handbells in the touch, although rarely in special circumstances a person may conduct from outside the circle. The conductor uses voice commands alone, and does not mark time in the same way as conductors of other forms of music.
