“To be a good improviser one must have acquired not only a sure and supple technique but a knowledge of harmony, counterpoint and fugue, and familiarity with plainsong, composition and orchestration.” – Marcel Dupré
Here I propose to provide some of the tools necessary to help organists begin to study and work towards mastering the art of improvisation. Video and audio examples will be posted as well as exercises and themes to practice.
