Leading the Church’s Song: A Guide for Beginning Organists

In this booklet, Kenneth T. Kosche distills his sixty years of experience as a parish musician into 32 pages of practical guidance for the beginning organist. Topics include the following: 1) Basic Components of the Organ, 2) Playing Technics, 3) Hymns, 4) Liturgy, 5) Teaching Hymns and Liturgies, and 6) The Organist as Accompanist. Dr. Kosche hopes this booklet will encourage beginning organists, aiding them in their development as parish musicians to glorify God and benefit their congregations.
