Welcome to The Latter-day Saint Organist's Resource Blog
The purpose of this blog is to help pianists learn to become true organists. Many individuals believe that if you play the piano you can play the organ, but the instruments differ greatly. While this blog is specifically geared towards members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, much of the information shared can be utilized by all. I hope that the information I share here will help you become an effective organist in your ward, stake, or other congregation.
Feel free to browse and search this blog. It was started in January 2010 and while new posts aren't added very often, this blog contains a wealth of information and is a wonderful resource for all organists. If you're a new reader, you can find the first lesson here: Before We Begin: Acquiring the Essentials. Also, please "like" the corresponding facebook page, which is updated more often. A link is provided on the right sidebar, or you can click here.

A Little About Me
My name is Jennifer, and I am the mom to six who aren't so little anymore! The flute was my instrument throughout my youth. As a music education major I took a semester of group organ at BYU with Carol Dean. Two years later I was called as ward organist in her stake and again studied with her during that year. I dabbled on the organ for a number of years after that, but started studying the organ seriously again in August 2010 and it's now a large part of my life.
At the end of 2009 I realized that there are very few resources out there for pianists who are called to play the organ and wanted to help fill that gap, so this blog was born in January 2010. I hope you find it helpful!

ReplyDeleteAlso, there exists an exceptional recording by Principal Tabernacle Organist Richard Elliot on the remarkable Schoenstein & Co. organ at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City. It may be found on the 2006 album "Now Let Us Rejoice: Organ Hymns for the Sabbath" released under the Mormon Tabernacle Choir recording label (CEN 0610-2); the album fetures organ solos by the Tabernacle Organist Emeritus John Longhurst, as well as by Tabernacle Organist Richard Elliot and Clay Christiansen.
