Organ Scholarship Initiative Update | January 2021

As we begin a new year in 2021,  let’s remember that new hobbies and interests can help deal with stress of this pandemic.. Do you know someone who would like to explore organ lessons? Do you want to give three free lessons to an eager learner? Do you want to make a year-end contribution to our Scholarship fund? Did you know any age student, (in the Chicagoland area,)with intermediate keyboard skills, is eligible for our Organ Scholarship Initiative. The one-year complimentary membership in our Chapter connects the students to us in a practical, concrete way, too.

Our OSI is ongoing, dependent upon interest shown in studying or teaching. Please go to our NSAGO website to complete an Application for either position. I’ll match you up, and you’ll be on your way to increasing your organ skills – or enjoying the satisfaction of teaching. Please contact me with questions: speterson1@northpark.edu.

We thank you for your continued support of this vital program, which supports the goal of encouraging Life Learners of the organ.

Coordinator
