Mark and I are starting to learn how to play the church organ. My favourite piece is Widors Toccata from Symphony No 5. Link or maybe Tuba Tune by C S Lang.
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 pull out the correct stops.
Listen to me practise

The Walker organ is in the process of being tuned
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.
It has come from Cathedral Organs in Welwyn Garden City.
Listen to Capetown on the new organ or me learning Capetown

I sing as a treble in St Mary's choir. I was presented with my dark blue medal on Christmas Day by Peter the Area Dean. RSCM |

I am also learning the violin. I have been learning for 2 years and a term. I have just got my Bronze Award. |

We also play the violins.
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 Micheal got married.
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 an HS8 and a HS4, which is connected to the computer.
