Congratulations to Dr. Masako Bacon and Nebraska Wesleyan University for having six organ students at the end of this semester! Thanks to the organ scholarship at First United Methodist Church, word of mouth has spread and it is wonderful to see so many students taking organ as part of their studies. The students recently did an "organ crawl" at First-Plymouth Congregational Church to see the organs and carillon. One of the students, Anna Neimoth, whose main instrument is piano and only just started playing organ, already has a movement from a Mendelssohn sonata learned that she shared with everyone. Other students include Chase Crispin, Brock Denton, Joel Brown, Alex Heinz, and Taylor Grandstaff. The students have progressed amazingly only after a short period thanks to Dr. Masako's teaching. Dr. Boyd Bacon brought pizza to share after the organ and carillon tour.
