In the first part of this class, Ian Hare will give an illustrated history of the organ voluntary, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. This important and interesting story is not often considered. Other questions Ian will address are: What is the role of the organ in church services today? How does one choose the right music? What part do differing styles of music play in making these choices?

For the second part of the session, bring a short piece you plan to play at church. Ian will offer feedback on your playing, and a discussion of your choice of voluntary.
