These short videos support Chapter 4 of Fingers and Feet: A Journey to the Organ Bench – a new tutor book specifically created to support learners starting the organ as their very first instrument.

Unlike traditional organ tutors, Fingers and Feet is designed specifically for those starting the organ from scratch, including learners with no previous keyboard background.

The Fingers and Feet organ tutor is available to purchase or to download as a free PDF here on First Stop! (click for details).

Long-finger piece

Long-finger piece encourages confident use of 2-3-4 finger-patterns, using music based on Bach’s C major Prelude. This video, linked to p.78 of the Fingers and Feet organ tutor, presents the teacher’s part of this short duet.

Toot, toot tootsies

This piece, found on p.82 of the Fingers and Feet organ tutor, has a lively syncopated pulse, giving the student the chance to play a jazzy bassline under big-band-style chords heard in the teacher’s part during this video.
