RCO (and HOA) Classes

RCO Summer Classes (May to September) are now advertised at https://www.rco.org.uk/organ_school.php and you can book very easily on line.   
Anne Marsden Thomas (Head of RCO Academy Organ School) writes:
This year we are introducing a ‘Concert Class’,  which we are repeating in different locations and at different standards.  There is therefore a Concert Class for everyone in the Organ School and I urge each of our students to take advantage of this opportunity to develop all-important performance experience.   Concert Classes (based on our popular Summer Concert Parties, but with only six students to allow lots of teaching time) offer you a chance to share a performance, not just with fellow students, but also with your friends and family, so do tell them about it as soon as you have booked!  Another new class is Frederick Stocken’s ‘Arrange and Compose’ (13th Sept).  This class is not just for budding composers, but also for those who need to arrange music (e.g. reharmonising a tune, or providing a descant or a part for an instrumentalist).  Frederick will give clear guidelines plus focused one-to-one help, whatever your need.
