You'll be improvising:
Toccatas
This will be the last lesson of the course but also the most fun one. Improvising Toccatas with several specific patterns - no experience needed!
Meditations
This is what we'll be starting with. A simple chord sequence, but extremely powerful and very useful for services.
Fanfares
Powerful Openers or festive Postludes? Not a problem - the Fanfare Blueprint you'll be learning is perfect for both!
And so much more:
Toccatas • Meditations • Fanfares • Preludes • Postludes • Medieval Music
Music should be fun - for listeners and the player!
As an international concert organist and composer, I've received many requests for a beginner-friendly improvisation course - so - here it is!
In this improvisation course, you’ll learn step-by-step to play freely and confidently, without needing any music theory or years of training. We're using simple blueprints which you can use for any hymn or melody.
Here’s what our course testers think:
"I always admired people who could improvise, but I never thought I could do it myself.
After just a few lessons in Paul’s course, I played my first short meditation during service — and it felt completely natural.”
Thomas M., Parish Music Director in the U.S.
"Thanks, Paul. This is a great course, I teach improvisation, and improvise a lot, in services and recitals. I found this really insightful and useful. Excellent to break it down into different styles and genres. It will equip those starting out with improvisation!"
Laurence C., Organist in Australia
