This annual Chapter event introduces the pipe organ to new students, beginning with a demonstration of how the pipe organ works and sounds.
Students will receive a 25-minute hands-on lesson and will be able to play their selected piece at the conclusion.
This is offered to any student at absolutely no cost. And of course there will be pizza, also at no cost!
Interested students (or their families or teachers) will be asked to register as the event approaches. A registration form will be available at this page.
