Region II, Westchester
County, NY, November 6 – the chapter presented a "Pedals,
Pipes and Pizza" event at Valhalla United Methodist Church
in Valhalla. Five piano students and seven adults attended, along
with parents and grandparents. Six chapter members were present
to assist. After a video on the history of the organ was shown,
Frank Miller spoke about the various parts of a pipe organ and
the types of pipes used. He had sample pipes for the group to
see and try to create a sound blowing through them. Afterward,
hosts Joyce Gardner and Joe Nigro assisted the participants at
the organ. Several adult pianists who were present took advantage
of the program to try the instrument. The group also toured the
organ chamber and saw the pipes. To conclude the event, the participants
enjoyed pizza and were given a copy of Sandra Soderlund's
A Young Person’s Guide to the Pipe Organ. -- Virginia
