Participant Comments

What Some BYU Organ Workshop Participants Have Said About the Program:

“I haven't played the organ regularly for the past three years. The workshop gave me perspective and rekindled my enthusiasm for practice.”

“I have been inspired to continue forward with my own personal organ study.”

“I especially liked the close personal connections the teachers made with us, and all the time and effort they are willing to give us.”

“It is an invaluable time of learning, growth and in the end, a benefit to so many wards with the direction given.”

“I thought that because I played the piano I could just sit down and play the organ. Not so!! I have learned to value the organ as a wonderful instrument.”

“The instructors are very encouraging and positive in their instructions and in encouraging students to ‘give it a try’ with the hands-on experiences at the organ.”

“I want you to know how much this workshop has helped me and inspired me. I came with no organ knowledge last year because my friends pushed me to come. I learned so much and was so inspired. I have worked on Level 1, started with an organ teacher, auditioned for a scholarship through AGO in my area, and then used that money to come this year where I have learned even more. . . This workshop is so worthwhile. I feel like it has changed my life, and I am busy just like everyone else. Thank you so much for providing this wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.”
