Hello

How are you – busy as ever I am sure.

Yes, I think they all enjoyed it and they played well!

We have only just finalised the competition.  You will notice some changes to time limits, $$ for prizes, and extra hour rehearsal for Intermediate.  It will be Sat 26/7 at Christ Church St Laurence  - Dr J Forsyth is the adjudicator and the Open is on 3/8 at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta at 2.15pm with Thomas Trotter as the adjudicator. 

TT is also giving a recital on Tuesday 5^th August at Sydney University at 6pm.  It would be lovely if lots of young organists would attend, as of course, we know he is a wonderful organist.

Another date to please keep in mind is the 19^th October – World Organ Day . . .some details in the journal, but not all are finalised. 

I have a student  - Marianne Ching – who now goes to Loreto, Year 11.  Is there anyway she could have an hour per week on the organ to practise at St Aloysius??   Also I am away middle June to middle July, and was wondering whether you could fit her into your schedule for the month.  She practises well, and will hopefully do her Grade 5 exam later this year.  (She has Grade 8 piano).  She is very keen and got a highly commended certificate at the Junior comp last year.  She wants to enter the comp and will be in the Intermediate section . . . Of course this may be completely to busy for you, as that is the time of World Youth Day . . .Would you please let me know?

We will be sending letters to teachers within the next two weeks.

Stay well

All the best
