As an organist with no formal training, your books have been the teacher I’ve needed. They’re very clear and I’m slowly working my way through them. They are, in fact, giving me more confidence in my playing. Thanks. B.M.

Playing the Church Organ is all about giving the organist an organ that is ready to play, right out of the box and then working to lead the organist through using everything that lies beyond these ten simple pistons.
The first ten pistons on every organ should be set for playing the church service. But that’s rare, even on new organs right out of factories Pistons should be set for the church organist. ready to play church services.
An organ committee really wants to hear is the ability of the organ to play hymns and inspire great hymn singing; to play solo melodies with soft accompaniment and have a trumpet that will serve to play God of Our Fathers and the wedding trumpet tunes.
That's exactly what Playing the Church Organ is all about. Giving the organist an organ that is ready to play, right out of the box and then leading the organist through using everything that lies beyond these ten simple pistons.
Thank you so much. Your books are wonderful. I would not be able to enjoy our new organ to the depth that these books have made possible.

If you are a pianist pressed into service on a church organ, this website is a godsend. I think it would also be useful for someone with limited experience who is looking for repertoire.
Church organists may also wish to know of it because it could be a great way to train up a keyboardist to substitute at the organ should one need to be away.

Yes, we did receive one of the books. I placed it on the C330 in the showroom. ONE customer went to the organ, and played the pieces in the book.
She called me back and placed an order for ...... a Rodgers 558. The book did it that's all I can say. Oh yes ... I did say from across the showroom, " you sound beautiful" - I am quite positive it was the comment along with the book that took her heart.
Anyhow, thanks for the effort with your publication. It should be a staple with every organ purchase.

Thanks again for your work on Playing the Church Organ. What a wonderful series for those of us fortunate enough to have a 500 Series instrument. Even as my grandchildren and great-grandchildren play on the instrument, it sounds great. You're making it much more of a joy to slowly come to know this marvelous organ.

When the Roland Classic Organ was introduced, it was obvious that this was something quite different from any classical organ built by any digital organ builder. Few people recognized that then, and some still do not understand that now.
Analog organs approximated pipe organ sounds through manipulating electrical currents. The first digital organs recorded pipe organ sounds and gradually replaced analog electronic organs in the industry.
The Roland Classic was a drastic departure from the business model found throughout the digital organ business - building organs that works just like a pipe organ and do everything that a pipe organ does.
Rodgers & Roland have always done things differently. Why not build an organ that does more than a pipe organ can do?
Why not build it to dramatically work to increase knowledge and interest in pipe organs as well as digital organs?
PNY USB Drives in current production do not work in Roland/Rodgers Church Organs. They are not visible to the organ, even after reformatting on a computer.
SanDisk and Lexar USB Drives so far work fine. Best are Roland drives but they may be hard to find in some places.
