Lessons 1-5 and 10-12 are for everyone—those who must begin very soon to play for churchmeetings might consider themselves in “shortcut mode” and skip lessons 6-9.

There is a total of just overfour hours of instruction, with each lesson lasting between five and thirty-five minutes plus pause time.The lessons involve listening to instruction, trying out new skills at the organ, and playing simplifiedhymns.

The New LDS Organist 6The Organ ConsoleThe diagram below indicates standard positions for the various items. However, organ consoles varywidely in their design. Some of the most common variations are as follows: Expression and crescendo pedals. If only one is present, it is usually an expression pedal thataffects the volume of the entire organ. Crescendo pedals are absent on many consoles. Great to Pedal reversible. If present, this is usually located directly to the right of the right-mostexpression (or crescendo) pedal. It may also be present as a thumb piston. General and divisional combination pistons. Many organs have only one set of combinationpistons. If so, they will be generals, centered underneath one or both manuals. If both generalsand divisionals are present, the generals are usually located to the left underneath the manual(s). Stops. These may be present as drawknobs, located in stop jambs on both sides of the manuals. Tutti/sforzando reversible. If present, this is usually the right-most and highest thumb pistonand/or toe stud.Stops (rocker tabs)SwellTutti reversiblePowerSetterGeneral combination pistonsDivision (local) combinationpistonsExpression pedalsGreatCancelCrescendo pedalGreat to pedalreversibleToe studsPedals

The New LDS Organist 9Resources: Easy Prelude and PostludeListed in approximate order from easier to more challengingStone, DeeAnn. Resources for LDS Organists. Visit ldsorganists.info.This is an exhaustive listing of hymn preludes and free accompaniments on hymns found in the LDS hymnbook—a mostuseful resource for any LDS organist. There is no indication, however, as to the level of difficulty.Manual-Only Hymns for Organ and Transformations. Provo, UT: Brigham Young University, 2010.Visit lds.org/music/accompanying-others?lang eng#2 (free download).Manual-Only Hymns is designed to assist the LDS pianist in making the transition to the organ. With practice, the voiceparts of these 38 hymns can be played smoothly and with independence of line. This is enabled by eliminating the pedalparts, by reducing the voice parts from four to three, by arranging the hymns for ease of execution, and by providing organfingering. Transformations is a companion volume to Manual-Only Hymns that provides easy supplemental material to“transform” the hymns into simple preludes or postludes.Croft, D. Kim. Nine Hymn Studies. Orem, UT: Pioneer Music Press, 1986.Visit jackmanmusic.comThese simple three-part hymn settings are fingered and pedaled in legato style, and include a very easy pedal part. Theyare some of the easiest available pieces to play for prelude or postlude, but not for congregational accompaniment.Cook, Don. Easy Organ Hymn Settings. Orem, UT: Jackman Music, 1992.Visit jackmanmusic.comThis collection contains 28 three-part transcriptions of LDS hymns. The original soprano part is played by the righthand. The left hand plays a new middle part that leaves the harmony unchanged from the original. The bass part, also notdeviating from the original notes, appears on its own pedal staff. Repeated notes are sometimes tied in the bass and middleparts. Fingering and pedaling are provided. These transcriptions can be used for congregational hymn accompaniment, orfor prelude or postlude. They were designed to provide a bridge between the very easy Nine Hymn Studies by Kim Croft andthe four-part hymns in the Hymnbook.Cook, Don. OrganTutor Organ 101 Workbook. Provo, UT: Brigham Young University, 1998/2007.Visit organtutor.byu.eduThis organ method contains a few hymn settings and pieces that were hand-picked for the early-level LDS organist, suchas “Prelude on Deliverance” by Richard Elliott.

New York: H. W. Gray, 1932.These one- or two-page pieces are provided with fingering and pedaling in legato style. A few are based on hymns inthe LDS hymnbook.
