Organ Method

[nachoba]

Hello forum,
I'm about to buy an organ method book.
I have narrowed my choices to:
a) Gleason organ method. It's pricey but I was told it's a classic
b) Organists Manual: Technical Studies and Selected Compositions for the Organ from Roger Davis. A little cheaper but reviews (at Amazon.com) seems to favor these one
What are your opinions.
thanks in advance

Hi Nachoba ...

Back in 1960 I opted for the Gleason book - it was rather pricey then, too.
I still have my original copy - and I still use it from time to time. Great book, at least IMHO.

I don't know anything about the Roger Davis material ... so I can't offer any opinion on it.

Welcome to this forum - enjoy your stay with us.

Hi Nachoba,

A good tutor used on this side of the Atlantic is David Sanger's "Play The Organ" in 2 volumes, Novello Publishing Limited ISBN 0-85360-153-4. Although pricey, there are plenty of good organ pieces included.
