Level II for Organists

June 17–21, 2013

For intermediate-level organists who have completed Level I. Daily sessions on the Theology of Worship, Church Year and Hymnology will be offered. Kantor Resch will also lead sessions on the playing of hymns, liturgy, intonations, chorale preludes, church’s songs for children, leading hymns, chorale literature and the organist as choir director.

Primer Level for Organists and Service Playing for Pianists

June 24–28, 2013

This dual-track workshop is intended for novice organists as well as musicians who play pianos or electronic keyboards for worship services. Organists who have had little or no formal training, who have been drafted into playing the organ, who do not play pedals or use only one foot are ideal candidates. Pianists who play for worship will learn more about how to lead congregational singing of hymns and liturgy from the piano.

All students will have group classes in theology and hymnody with Kantor Resch. Pianists and organists will meet separately with Kantor Hildebrand and Dr. Grime to learn more about service playing on their respective instruments.
