Join the great throng,
Psaltery, organ, and song,
Sounding in glad adoration.
Welcome!
Welcome to Sound the Organ, a website dedicated to helping organists and others facilitate worship and ministry through music.
This website is an extension of my archived blog and active facebook page. The blog is still a wealth of information, but in the years since its creation, more and more resources have become available online. I’ve always wanted to do more, and I finally took the steps to make that a reality!
Visit my Shop section for new hymns marked for the organ! I post them on my facebook page first, then on this website after they’ve been error checked.
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 to share resources that will help aid in facilitating worship!
