Hi All, I am a self taught organist. I had a few lesson to assist with the fingering and after that passed my grade 2. I enjoy organ music because it is good for my soul. I enjoy buying new-/ second hand organ books. I also enjoy downloading free organ music. My heart is open to advice, please inspire me more, i am willing to learn.

I am an organist in my home congregation. I would like to thank you all in advance for inspiring me.

Greetings,
Gregory

Welcome aboard the Starship MIMF where everyone is a star. I really enjoy Capetown S.A. with the Table Mountain as a backdrop and the plethora of activities one can engage in. Please do make yourself feel right at home in our small corner of the Galaxy and stay for a spell.

Glad to have you become a new member here at Magle International Music Forums.
As one fellow organist to another, it's 'great' to have amongst the 'ranks' here :crazy:!

What kind of organ do you play on at your church?

Hi Greg,

Not familiar with that name/brand. I'm assuming it's an electronic keyboard with many preset sounds ... who makes this instrument?

I know the feeling, usually if I walk into a music shop and ask for organ music they look at me as if I'm from another planet. :rolleyes:

Deevee's music in Bloem is prepared to order most music on demand (assuming you know what your looking for that is). There is a music shop in Pretoria that do stock organ music, at a price, they supply the music students at Unisa, I'll try and get their web address for you.

I also have some music that I downloaded from the internet and/or bought on e-bay. If you're looking for something specific, let me know and I'll see if it's on one of the virtual books.:crazy:

We do have a good few pipe organs at our congregations. I hope you can view the picture of the organ.

Have a blessed day.

Hi Johan, I use to order organ books directly from the shops overseas but now with the rand getting weaker, it is becoming a problem especially with the custom service. I ordered me a pair of organ shoes last year from Organ masters for $50 (that time +-R300). The first time the shoes arrived I collected it from the post office. unfortunately for me I had to ship it back for a bigger size. I had to pay customs tax the second time the shoes came into the country. When I asked the why, they said "because it is the first time shoes like this comes into the country"... so i had to pay another R198 to get my shoes.

I will really appreciate if you can forward me the web address. I will be away in JHB from late afternoon Sat.

Have a good weekend... enjoy the rugby.
