Description
Fingers and Feet: A Journey to the Organ Bench is a new tutor book created specifically to support learners starting the organ as their very first instrument. It has been developed by the Royal College of Organists (RCO) and the Diocese of Leeds Keyboard Studies Programme, with funding from the Vinehill Trust.
As well as going on sale, the book, along with 34 short accompanying tutorial videos, is being made available as one of the many free resources on the RCO’s new First Stop! website – a major online resource designed to welcome newcomers into the world of the organ.
RCO Chief Executive Sir Andrew Parmley said: “The enthusiastic response to last year’s Play the Organ Year initiative demonstrated yet again the enduring appeal of the organ to musicians, would-be musicians, and music lovers of all ages.
“By creating dedicated print and online resources for those coming fresh to the instrument we are continuing to lower barriers, widen access, and give more people the chance to share the remarkable experiences that the organ offers.”
