New Organ Teaching Materials for a New Century |
Discover the Basics®
is a four-volume series of introductory keyboard study for any keyboard
instrument. The objectives are to develop the skills of (1) music
reading, (2) keyboard coordination, and (3) musicianship, and to
introduce (1) the primary composers for the piano and organ, (2)
a brief history and mechanical understanding of all keyboard instruments,
and (3) the basic sounds of the organ. Approximately 70% of the
compositions have duet parts for the teacher. Discover the Basics®
utilizes an intervallic approach to reading music. Gradually, the
names of all the lines and spaces are learned.
|
Discover the Basics® consists of four successive books (A, B, C, and D). The
student uses only one basic book at a time. Lesson, repertoire,
technique, and theory are combined in each basic book.

are in preparation.
Practice Instruments:
For the first three or four years of study, students may
use any keyboard instrument (piano, electronic keyboard, or
any kind of organ) as their daily practice instrument. If an
electronic organ or keyboard is used, weighted keyboards are
recommended. Beginning with Level One publications, the student
may need one practice session at an organ before each lesson
to integrate the optional pedal parts into the assigned compositions. |

Traditional Organ Method Materials |

Tier II - Organ Skills™
A Comprehensive Approach to Traditional Organ
Teaching
|
This
series of books presumes three to four years of keyboard study.
|
Part 1
First Organ Book
Third edition, revised and enlarged
edited by Wayne Leupold
Two hundred and one pages in length, divided into four parts. Part one includes basic information about the organ, families of sound, and a brief explanation of the basic periods of music history. Part two contains a comprehensive beginning organ method including chapters on legato pedal techniques, legato manual techniques, legato manual and pedal trios, and the articulate style of touch of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Part three is a graded collection of compositions from all historical periods, with most of the late nineteenth and twentieth century pieces fingered. Part four includes information on MIDI, a glossary, and registration information. Some compositions are based on well-known hymn tunes, while others are freely composed. Most of the compositions in this part do not require traditional organ legato-fingering techniques, thus enabling the pianist or keyboardist with only a minimum technique to play the organ and sound good immediately. Much of the material is at a level so that it can be used by pianists after only three years of traditional piano study. The First Organ Book is the outgrowth of a two-year project initiated by the National Committee on the New Organist of the AGO, in cooperation with Wayne Leupold, to produce an introductory volume of organ music and elementary teaching materials.

Easiest Hymns

For manual and pedals in trio style. A series of small volumes
containing very easy hymn settings suitable for accompanying
congregational singing in three parts; with very easy pedal
parts (most within the range of a fifth or sixth) for the new
organist. These settings can be used from the very first organ
lesson to provide a hymn- playing experience and to begin to
teach the basic principles of hymn playing. The hymns chosen
are ones included in hymnals of most Christian denominations. |

Learning for a Lifetime
Historical Organ Techniques and Repertoire
General Editor: Wayne Leupold |
This is a series of volumes, each of which deals with a specific
national school of organ music within a specific historical period
(Late Medieval; Renaissance; 16th and 17th century North German;
Bach; 18th century German; 16th-18th century South German; 16th
-18th century Spanish; 16th-18th century Italian; 16th-18th century
English; 16th-18th century Dutch; German Romantic; French Romantic;
English Romantic; American Romantic; The Late Romantic Orchestral
Organ in England and America; and Modern Organ Techniques). The
first portion of each volume contains a preface that discusses
all relevant aspects of organ performance practice: (1) organ
specifications and registration practices; (2) hand positions;
(3) fingering systems; (4) meter and articulation; (5) ornamentation;
(6) rhythmic alteration practices; (7) a bibliography; (8) a list
of original sources and organ tutors; (9) a list of modern editions;
and (10) definitions of the types of compositions that were used
by that national school of composers. These are arranged in a
teaching format. The second portion of each volume contains attractive
and appropriate organ music arranged in a graduated order of difficulty,
with some of the easier compositions partially or completely fingered,
pedaled, ornamented, registered, and rhythmically altered according
to the practices in use at the time and place the music was written.
Some of the music is for manuals only, and some for manuals and
pedal. It is the intent of this series to explore in some depth
the tremendous breadth and variety of styles of music and performance
practices that exist for the organ from the last six centuries.
