Music In Stanhope School

In January, 1955, an organ was purchased for the school and music teachers were engaged by the Women’s Institute to give singing lessons to the students. For the first several years music lesson fees were collected from the children and the Women’s Institute made up the remainder of the music teacher’s salary. In later years the government took over the payment of a salary to the music teacher. The Women’s Institute was responsible for engaging music teachers for the school until the Regional Administrative Units were formed.

The organ, being of a temperamental nature, was sold; a piano was donated to the school by Mrs. Harold Shaw.
