volunteerorganist.com
A website hosted by Robert Fielding in Romsey, England.
Help is here if you are a pianist who has volunteered to play the organ
in your church, or are learning to play the 'King of Instruments'!
Advice, support, news about courses, resources and sympathy!
Here you can access resources for further learning, repertoire for
manuals only, information about shoes or links to other useful websites.
Browse the shop page to buy the Tutor Book for Volunteer Organists and
the new Exercises for Developing Organists.
A new Psalm Resources page provides links to responsorial psalms for the
liturgical year in both CofE and RC traditions.
Follow/like/comment on Robert's latest YouTube page, especially if
you like Elgar's Sonata for Organ in G major Op.28. I have just uploaded
new recordings of Vierne's 'Aubade' and a recording of my own
'Variations & Finale on the Hymn Tune Iste Confessor'.
Please do let me have any details about courses or resources you have
discovered and I will provide links to them for others to see below.
If organ music or hymns are needed for worship at home,
visit the Music for Sundays page.
Please email rcfielding@gmail.com for help, advice or further information
or just to say hello!
