Hi!

http://www.salutemus.co.uk/summer_schools_music_courses_organists_pianist_classes.html

This course is aimed at:

       
  • organists wishing to gain   confidence in playing for services (accompanying congregations and choirs)
  • organists wishing to explore   repertoire and techniques for smaller instruments
  • pianists who are interested in   learning techniques that will help them to transfer their keyboard   skills to the organ
In addition to organ classes there will be opportunities, for those   interested, to study harpsichord technique and basso continuo playing.

In addition to part of the course in the UK there is a visit to Rome and see and hear some of the city's early organs, and also   visit Rieti to see the remarkable Dom Bedos organ about which there are more detials on other threads on this forum.

The course is led, among others, by David Goode, a really brilliant performer and teacher. He was organist of the largest Church organ in the world in San Francisco and now teaches at the  foremost English public school. To watch him perform the Reger Passcaglia building up the crescendo registering entirely by hand is a feat to behold and all who go on this course will have a very fulfilling experience.

Best wishes
