WHAT IS PRIVATE ORGAN INSTRUCTION?

These are individualized 25-minute 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
