Hi
I'm Kevin and I'm 21 (turning 22 on Wednesday) from Johannesburg, South Africa. I started playing the piano at 8 when my grandmother paid for my lessons. Sadly, I have never had a single teacher for an extended period of time and I've only done a Grade 3 Trinity College music theory exam.
Around 6 years ago, our Church Organist fell very ill and I was asked to take over. My first experience on an organ was on a yamaha electone with 2 manuals of 3 1/2 octaves and a 12 note pedal-board (hardly an organ). Due to the financial situation of our church we are still unable to upgrade to anything more decent. We do have plans in place to upgrade to a new Johannes/Allen digital organ later this year or perhaps early next year.
I am also due to start formal Organ training from one of the more well known organists in Johannesburg next week. I have played on numerous pipe organs in and around Joburg and each time I get a thrill playing it.
Greetings!
