Course content

How often have you listened to the magical sounds of an organ and dreamed of getting to know this fascinating instrument (again) and being able to elicit your own sounds from it? Now you have the opportunity to do so, and what's more: one of the most important historical organs in Switzerland awaits you, along with a sensitive teacher with many years of teaching experience.

Previous knowledge of the piano/harpsichord or even the organ is helpful, but not a prerequisite. When registering and later on the first evening of the course, you will share your ideas and wishes with the course instructor, and together, in individual lessons and in a cheerful exchange with the group, you will approach your individual goal during the course days.

Course times:
Concert: Sunday evening 18.00, followed by a short organ tour and dinner together in the hotel

Target audience

Organ enthusiasts of all ages and abilities

Participants

The course takes place with min. 5 - max. 10 participants, early registration recommended.
