Meet Mr. Dickson. He kindly took his Friday afternoon to meet my Class 5 students and introduce them to the organ at All Saints Cathedral in downtown Nairobi.
Meet the organ.
Mr. Dickson told us the history of the organ, put on his organ shoes, and climbed on up onto the bench, inviting the students to come as close as possible.
He played several of the different sounds and showed the students how the stops work.
While we crowded in, Mr. Dickson played for us.
Finally, we got a really great look at the pipes and how they work
from behind!
This supplies the air to the pipes so you don't have to pay someone to work the bellows like olden times.
The organ truly fills up the whole church with a beauty and grandeur that I am so grateful my students could experience in person.
