As part of our educational outreach we have set up…

SOMERSET
ORGANISTS’
SUPPORT SCHEME

Our latest initiative is a scheme to offer a free one-hour visit to give guidance on the organ you usually play.

WHO IS IT FOR?

• For players and prospective players of all abilities and ages
• You may be a pianist who has been asked to play the organ
• Or be interested in understanding the organ better
• Or just someone wishing to improve their playing

WHAT COULD BE INCLUDED?

• How the mechanism works
• What the stops do and which are the best ones to use
• How to play a hymn or song effectively
• How to use the organ to encourage a congregation to sing their best
• How to start to use the pedals
• How to practise effectively
• Where you can get help to learn more and develop your skills in the future

These are just suggestions, but the sessions can be tailored to individual needs.
