targeting people with music reading and keyboard experience, who are interested in learning to play the church organ.

Participants will attend club meetings, usually at 9:15 on Wednesday mornings (excepting June 26, July3. and July 31). These will include some media presentations, general instruction about organ technique, registration, hymn playing, liturgy and performance practice. We will also plan some field trips to visit and play other organs and attend an organ recital.

Participants also receive individual instruction each week. Assignments will include a hymn, part of the liturgy and a piece of repertoire at an appropriate level of difficulty. Practice of these pieces is expected and time will be arranged/scheduled on St. John's organ for that purpose. Individuals will also observe and assist at the organ console during a service several times throughout the summer — and ideally will play part of a service before the end of August.

Club "dues" are $200 for members/$250 for non-members, to include group meetings, 8 individual lessons (commencing mid June through August 21) and local field trips. Admission for an organ recital at Riverside Church in NYC is covered ($15 for students/20 for adults) — date to be determined — either Tuesday, July 16, 23 or Aug 6. Transportation costs will be up to the individual — either train or car pool, as seems best. A personal copy of The First Organ Book, Third edition (worth $38 & shipping) or another appropriate book, based on ability will be included. Proceeds of the program will benefit Saint John's Renovation Project.

Please speak to Cindy Holden if you are interested in participating. Registration forms are available in the church office.

This program is being offered instead of Church Music Experience with the goals to:
increase interest in the organ
encourage study of the instrument
begin to prepare students to play the organ for church

For those who are interested, but have no keyboard/music reading experience, please keep posted for information about Music Makers at the Keyboard that will, Lord willing, be offered in the fall.

Congratulations to Ariel Meza on completion of her Light Blue Ribbon, marking another milestone in her choir work! Congratulations also go to Gabriela Meza and Brian Tritch who have received their White Ribbons
