Rye Theatre Organ Academy

Hi

A currently unique - and well worthwhile - project.  Tutor Michael Wooldridge writes:-

"RYE WURLITZER ACADEMY
Teachers Report
As we enter the new College year,
it is exciting both to look back at
all we have achieved in our first
full year and also to look ahead to
many good things to come. In the last academic
year it has been wonderful to gradually be able to
spend more time with the students, though I still
feel they would benefit from even more regular
lessons and I am thrilled that as we move into the
new year, we are now addressing this for the most
conscientious of the players. It has been a joy for
me to receive such wonderful support from the
staff throughout the college and, most especially,
from Head of Music, Mr. Chris McGeever, who
never fails to offer the children inspiration to further
their musical endeavours.
As we enter the new school year, I am looking forward
not only to meeting the new year 7 students
as they join us but also to expansion of the
scheme to Year 5 & 6 at three local junior schools.
This could potentially offer a year 5 pupils seven
whole years of study at the electronic and theatre
organ, time enough to become very accomplished
indeed.
Of course we are also very much looking forward
to our trip to visit the East Sussex National Wurlitzer
at the end of September and our special parents'
evening on October 11th, at which we shall
be announcing some even more exciting news."

Every Blessing

P.S.  the exciting news is sponsorship to take a group of young players to the ATOS congress in America next year!
