Sound the Organ

They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

Job 21:12

About

In January 2010 I created a blog to help pianists learn to become true organists. I also created a facebook page to correlate. While I haven’t updated the blog recently, it’s is still a wealth of information for those wishing to learn the organ. In the years since its creation, more and more resources have become available online. I’ve always wanted to revamp the blog into a website, and earlier in 2024 I finally took the steps to make that a reality.

While this website will most likely be under construction for a long time, I’m excited about the possibilities it brings to help others learn the organ and find resources that will help aid worship!
