Organ Studio Details

All students are expected to play in Studios. Before choosing repertoire, students should first decide which studio level they are working at. Each level is explained below and includes both a short description and some example repertoire to help with this step. It is possible to be ‘aspirational’ or ‘safe’ in this decision making!

Expand the relevant level for more information about the standard of each organ studio level.
