Dan and the magic musician

 

This initiative is commissioned by the Royal College of Organists’ from the University of Bradford, to introduce children to the organ.

 

It takes the form of an animated story, “Dan and the Magic Musician”, which tells how a child, accompanied by a Magic Musician, finds out that many different types of pipe go together to make up an organ, “the greatest musical instrument of all” – before the Musician tells the audience “you too can learn to play the organ”. The animation ends with a link to information about local organists’ associations, so that children or teachers can get in touch with someone locally to find out more about where to hear a pipe organ or how find an organ teacher.

 

The animation is well done, and is free for the use of schools and other similar organisations.
