• inspiring lessons in small groups on excellent organs in Oundle and local villages (including classes on pedal playing and hymns)
• ‘organ crawl’ to Cambridge Colleges – try lots of excellent instruments! – and supper in College
• tutors and experienced pastoral staff CRB-checked
• Virtuoso – serious footwork!
popular organ recital by Tom Bell at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge on Saturday 5 April (7.30pm)
• comfy, warm accommodation and recreational facilities at Laundimer House, Oundle School
