Organ Studio
Organ Studio
The Organ program at UNCSA is a small, intimate program where you can pursue your passion for music while being prepared with a breadth of skills for a life as a professional musician — on the stage, in the church and beyond. Studying in a conservatory environment means you will have weekly private lessons with your major teacher, weekly performance classes and a curriculum with a strong emphasis on hymn-playing and improvisation. Performance opportunities abound, both on campus and in the larger community with a thriving organ culture.
