Message from the Dean |
| ***PLEASE VISIT OUR NEW WEBSITE AT www.cvago.org***
Welcome! Thank you for visiting our chapter page. We are a small, yet enthusiastic chapter headquartered in Logan, Utah (about 90 miles north of Salt Lake City). Our focus for the coming year is twofold: first, we want to get more young people interested in the organ. Each year that I provide pipe organ demonstrations to elementary school children, I'm delighted to see their fascination with the instrument. We also intend to expand our vision to provide more opportunities for the organ's visibility in our community. Second, we want to provide training for the many beginning organists in our area. There is great need for teaching and guidance so that these organists get started on the right foot! Jonathan D. Rose, Dean |

Newsletter |
| Our first newsletter of 2010 has just mailed, if you would like to receive it, please let us know!
Have a look at the New Training Program for LDS Organists, or anyone else new to the organ. This free course of twelve lessons is designed to help LDS pianists adapt their skills to the organ as soon as possible. Visit www.organ.byu.edu and click on "The New LDS Organist" link. The renovation of the Logan tabernacle pipe organ was celebrated on March 13, 2009 with a recital including Clay Christiansen from the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. The Holtkamp pipe organ at Utah State University has recently received a thorough tuning and service visit by Michael Bigelow of American Fork and is now sounding better than ever! Pipe Organ Encounters are being planned for this spring, keep an eye on the events section above for more information. |
