Pedals Pipes Pizza single flyer.pdf

The Merrimack Valley chapter of the American Guild of Organists and South Church in Andover will present Pedals, Pipes & Pizza on Sunday, October 6th, 3:00-5:00pm at South Church, Andover, 41 Central St, Andover, MA 01810.

Pedals, Pipes & Pizza events are held nation-wide as a way to introduce the pipe organ to young people. This is a great enrichment event for piano students that can really expand their musical imagination and enhance their piano-playing! This event is geared especially for piano students, but any young person interested in music will enjoy this program.

We will begin with an Organ demo and look inside the historic pipe organ at South Church All piano students are invited to play a piano piece on the organ and hear how different it sounds using different stops; try your piece with a trumpet sound or a string sound! All participants will receive a children's book about the organ and everyone will eat pizza at the end!

Geared for grades 3-8, but all are welcome. Participants must bring a responsible adult (no drop-offs). $5 per participant, scholarships available. Book and pizza included in the $5 fee.
