a friendly weekend for early-stages organists and pianists
who want to play the pipe organ
age 10-15
Our annual residential weekend course for early-stages organists is always very popular – it’s huge fun! In 2009 we can offer 36 places. We welcome students (typical age 10-15) who are either young organists up to grade 5, or pianists at grade 4 standard (minimum), who wish to try the pipe organ. Pulling Out The Stops is just what you need to get going!

(including classes on pedal playing and hymns)
