Excellent

I'm a Pianist turned Organist. This is perfect. The arrangements are easy enough to learn in a short period of time. The pedal parts are far from being scarry as opposed to many organ piece.

Very helpful

I made the transition from piano to organ about six months ago. I should have had this book from the beginning, but better late than never. The songs are easy to play, but they still sound good. The first half of the book has songs that are manuals only, which is very good for a pianist-turned-organist. The second half has songs with easy pedal parts, which are also good. No spiral binding, but the book is thin enough that keeping the pages open isn't a problem.

A stunning collection of service music and helpful hints designed for one specific keyboardist: a pianist dragooned into playing that terrifying instrument known as-gasp!-an organ. Far from being a scary ordeal, however, this compilation is quite "userfriendly" for that particularly brave pianist. The first section of the book contains preludes, offertories and postludes that can be played quite comfortably by the manuals alone. The second section involves organ music with very rudimentary pedaling or easy pedals that correspond to the fifth finger of the pianist's left hand. The final section provides valuable tips and exercises to ease the transition from piano to organ with special attention given to what to do with your dangling feet! "Organ Music for the Church Pianist" is an essential resource for the transitioning keyboardist.
