Registration

This workshop is designed for women and men age 18 and older. Younger organ students may be admitted with special permission (e-mail organworkshop@byu.edu). Infants and children will not be admitted to workshop sessions. One-day attendance options are not available, and early registration is encouraged.

Three convenient ways to register:

Online

By phone at (801) 422-8925. VISA, Discover, and MasterCard payments are accepted.
In person at the Harman Continuing Education Building, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. Our offices will be closed on May 26 (Memorial Day), July 4 (Independence Day), and July 24 (Pioneer Day).

Following registration, you will receive a receipt of payment and confirmation materials in the mail.

WHAT IS PRIVATE ORGAN INSTRUCTION?

Extra fee: $25 OR $40
These are individualized 25- or 50-minute organ lessons, which give you an excellent opportunity to receive help in hymn or organ certification, or in any area of organ playing. Limited practice times and choice of instruments will be available throughout the workshop. Play hymns or your choice of organ repertoire you have prepared for your instructor, who will comment on your preparation and provide guidance for the following year’s study.

WHAT ARE INSTRUCTION PLACEMENT AUDITIONS?

Extra fee: $10
Unsure about your level of organ ability? Find out by attending a 10-minute session with an instructor. Play a well-prepared hymn and/or a piece from the organ literature, and the instructor will recommend the organ instruction level that is more appropriate for you.

HOW CAN I SIGN UP FOR PRIVATE ORGAN INSTRUCTION OR PLACEMENT AUDITIONS?

Sign up for private instruction or placement auditions when you register, or add the option anytime before July 30. If you do not have access to the Internet, you can call (801) 422-8925 to add these options.
