Piano World Home Page Forums Other Keyboard Instruments Organs - Electronic (B3 etc.), Pipe, Theatre, & Reed organ lessons

the only ones i get are when my organist pastor yells at me in frustration.. he really is a perfectionist and quite the perfect player.

who's going to give lessons here?

If you're looking to take lessons and are near Kansas City, you might check out UMKC, which has an organ department - Dr. Jon Obetz used to be part of it, but he has probably retired now. Years ago (I won't say how many), I took private voice lessons there with a PhD candidate, and the price was pretty reasonable. Since the lessons aren't actually part of the university, you shouldn't have to worry about out-of-state tuition.

You also might want to check out KU, in Lawrence. Dr. Mary Ellen Sutten was head of the organ deptartment (last I heard). Before she finished her doctorate I sang in a youth choir for which she was the accompanist. Anyway, KU may also offer private lessons or group classes.

Hope this helps

you know, i never thought of actually taking lessons.. i'd love it. i have such wonderful books to learn from....

i just haven't thought of actually studying under someone. I should because i can practice. (and that is a rarity).
you have really tempted me now..

(wondering if i can get another supplemental job to pay them) heh
