SUMMER PIPE ORGAN ENCOUNTER 2009
See link to Education Reprtoire Requirements below under Links:
San Diego Chapter is hosting a POE (Pipe Organ Encounter) for ages 13-18 on August 2 to 8, 2009. This is a great opportunity to introduce a young person to the organ. Details will available on the National AGO website soon. An Adult POE schedule will also be posted. At our first Palomar Chapter event on September 28, two or three of our 2008 POE participants will tell about their experiences. There is a video one can view online.

Now is a good time to identify and start preparing a young person or adult for our chapter scholarship auditions to held in April 2009. Repertoire lists may be found at http://www.agosd.org/education.htm. An applicant may audition the first time on piano. If you know a teacher of piano who you think might have interested students, contact Carol Graham at 760-224-1123, and she will send the information. Young people who are in church are the most likely ones to be interested. The scholarship may be used for POE or for lessons with an AGO teacher.

Submitted by Carol Graham, Education/Scholarship Chairman.
