Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a pianist or organist new to playing the organ.This book has been written for the pianist who has never played an organ or an organist unfamiliar with the Roland, Rodgers or Infinity organs, but may be used by an experienced organist as well. Designed to be used for self-teaching but also useful when studying with a teacher.The Playing the Church Organ series is also useful for the experienced organist as it quickly introduces you to using all the stops on the organ, ones named on the stop tablets or drawknobs, and all that are waiting inside for you to call on them to more perfectly match the stops you choose to the music you are playing.This innovative teaching system works backwards - the goal is not to teach you all about playing the organ, it's to get you playing the organ with confidence and sounding professional from the first day you play, even if you have never had an organ lesson and just know how to play piano or a keyboard.Technique:We achieve this by starting you off with preset sounds, just as a teacher does, but here you control them yourself, right from the beginning. All that you need to learn to get started are three things:• Pressing Piston Buttons.When you press a piston button, the organ is ready for you to play. We have picked music for you that only uses the keyboards. This isn't simplified music - there has been a lot of organ music written for organs without pedals - in fact, even during the time of Handel, many organs only had keyboards. You will find the number of the piston to push at the top of the music - then you just begin to play. • Which Keyboard to Play?We mark every piece for you so you know which keyboard you [play.• The Expression Pedal Sets the Volume.You'll be surprised when you find out that the organ is not as difficult as you are able to focus more on playing the notes instead of also making them loud or soft or somewhere in between. • What happens then?“But...do I have to play the pedals?” You will find organ music written without pedals in books 1-4 that is easy to medium difficulty. As you play through the music you will be using 10 preset sound combinations that are enough to play services, including weddings and memorial services. This book also hows you how to use the Bass Coupler to play the pedals for you automatically on some of the music - we do this to get you excited and interested in playing them yourself.• This first book contains 33 pieces of useful music for you to enjoy playing the voices you are learning about. • The first four books in this series are a complete course in music for the organ, as well as exploring the stops of the organ.• Careful attention to encouraging you through lots of interesting music that is playable and that your congregation will appreciate. • These books may be used with or without a teacher.• Book 13 - A Playing Guide to the Roland, Rodgers and Infinity Organs is a good companion guide to this series qof instruments.

Download or read book Playing the Church Organ Book 13 written by Noel Jones and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions you have now and questions that might come to you while getting comfortable playing these organs are answered here in plain language.Each of these organs is played like other organs. It also has its own controls and devices that reflect the forward thinking of Rodgers, the first to use a computer in an organ, the first to successfuly combine organ pipes in an electronic, and now digital, organ. Rodgers is the rare company today that has built pipe organs, including the 13th largest pipe organ in the world, and digital organs.The organ display window is a window into a library of organ stops that are ready, like a dictionary or a thesaurus of organ stops, to give you the sound that you need for the piece that you are playing.This book concentrates on working through the organ controls and features not by telling you what they are but by showing you how to use them and what they can do for you.We write these books after meeting with people who are new to the organs and spending time helping them get started. Based on our notes from those sessions, we then build the books. For the first time, we have then invited owners of these organs to review what we've written and this has been extremely helpful when doing the final drafts. Their help has improved this book and we are very grateful.The index to the book lists all that is covered, from using the transposer, selecting stops, using the usual couplers and the unusual - Bass & Melody couplers - as well as working with multiple memory levels and the PREV and NEXT controls which can be assignable. Since this is about playing the organ, you will also find music for the organ to play that helps explain the features.Careful attention is given to the differences between the organs. The current design of these organs which shares the same tonal generation system through all of them makes covering all the organs in teh same books possible.Nothing makes us happier than hearing from organists, especially those new to playing the organ, as they tell us how our books have helped them as musicians in their playing of the organ.• Clear, concise explanations of operation of the controls on the organ and practical advice on their use.• This book covers operation of these organs. The first four books in this series are a complete course in organ registration on the Roland, Rodgers and Infinity Organs, exploring the stops, the Voice Palette stops and the USER & Library Access stops.• Frog Music Press brings with it more than 10 years experience in creating guides to Rodgers Organs as well as more many years experience working in church music in the USA, Germany and Italy.

Download or read book Playing the Church Organ Book 2 written by Noel Jones and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 2 • Adding Stops to PresetsUsing Organ StopsLearning the locations of the stops (the sound controls) in the rows of stop tablets or drawknobs becomes easy here while you will learn what they do and, while using them, quickly learn where they are. It will become second nature and you will find yourself turning them off even without looking at times.Why change stops? Music is written by composers with certains sounds in their ears, sounds that are common to organs that they have grown up with or heard when traveling. Orchestras are more like organs than you'd think. An orchestra manager has to hire players just like you choose stops, to be able to play the music as the composer intended. That's one reason organs with their wide tonal palette of stops were and are used in halls and theaters, to replace the orchestra in an affordable manner - one person playing instead of many.Today with the organ you are playing it is possible to match almost any organ specification using the Voice Palette™ stops and the USER Library of stops. We can even choose them and hide them in piston settings, ready for you to play on a moment's notice whics is what we have done here in Book 2. In Books 3 and 4 we will show you how to search out and select voices but in this book we've already been done it for you.For those of you who are not quite ready to play pedals, we show you how to let the organ play the pedal stops for you and mark the music for you where this is effective, further satisfying your congregation by letting them hear you play the whole organ with strong, supporting pedals automatically sounding from the organ.The book includes useful drawings to guide you in understanding the operation of its controls.The music, 29 pieces, all for manuals and some with optional pedals, is almost exclusively written for the organ and stops chosen that the composer would find faithful to the music. As you play you will think of music you already know that will work well with the stop settings under your fingers and that's what this book is all about, blending your musicianship with this new organ.This book, just like Book 1, is designed to get the great sounds of the organ under your fingers, encouraging you to go and and learn even more about the organ and its music through the possibilities found in your Roland & Rodgers church organs.• Learning how to record and play back your playing lets you go out into the church and hears yourself as others do.• Organ stop registrations “shorthand” becomes natural to you, making it easy to write down organ registrations for future use.• Antique engravings of organ pipes accompany explanations of how pipes work and sound.• Music of great composers Handel, Karg-Elert, Clerambault, Purcell, Brahms. Franck Mendelssohn and more fills out the book.
