Organ Lessons
Mark and I are starting to learn how to play the church organ. My favourite piece is Widor's Toccata from Symphony No 5. Link or maybe Tuba Tune 
by C S Lang.
I am trying to visit and play as many organs as I can. Visit my played organ page

My first solo on the organ was on Christmas Eve 2005 to a fully packed church with only a little standing room left. I played Silent Night. 3 verses. The first was very good but in the middle of the last one I kicked the toe piston and Simon had to come and rescue me by pulling out the correct stops.
Listen to me practise

The Walker organ was tuned after it had been repaired
See it Hear it Before After
This is me playing at my first recital on 24th December 2005 at the Nativity Service. I am playing Silent Night ( all three verses).
We have a new Eminent organ
It is an Alpha 300/32. It is as you can see a 3 manual with 54 stops and a set of stops that can be changed.
It has come from Cathedral Organs in Welwyn Garden City
Listen to Capetown on the new organ or me learning Capetown which isn't as good.
I am quite good a playing this now.

Simon Pusey my Organ Teacher playing tuba tune
I have played on several church organs. Two of them at St Mary's, the Walker which is a pipe organ that is being restored and the electronic Makin one.
I managed to play on the organ at Our Lady Queen of all Creation when Michael got married. (opposite)
We are very lucky to have our own three manual at home to play on and two other Yamaha organs to make other sounds. Dad has a Yamaha HS8 and a Yamaha HS4, which are connected to the computer. He has several different organs on the computer which are fun to play. Sometimes we link the laptop to the organs and can play many difficult pieces via the midi.
