From Prelude to Postlude―hone your service playing skills

St Martin's Church, Dorking, RH4 1DW

This class, led by RCO Accredited Teacher Martin Hall, offers the opportunity to work on aspects of service playing (voluntaries, hymns, psalms, choral accompaniment) according to your needs. With a maximum of six active places each participant is assured a good length of time at the console and the opportunity to learn from other participants. Observer places are now available. Book soon to avoid disappointment!

What to prepare
Decide what your priorities are from the different aspects of service playing listed above and prepare accordingly, bearing in mind playing/tuition time per person of 25 minutes. Shortly before the class we will ask you to let us know your choice(s). With Lent beginning the next day and Passiontide and Easter not so far away, you may wish to concentrate on seasonal music.
