4.0 out of 5 stars The best for beginners, but..., May 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Organists' Manual: Technical Studies & Selected Compositions for the Organ (Hardcover)
Davis's "Organists Manual" is THE method for beginning organists. It contains repertoire at graded levels of difficulty that can be used all throughout the organist's career, and technical exercises that help with problems contained in the book's repertoire. However, organists who want to advance their technique will probably need to buy another method with more technical exercises--especially pedal exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Treatise, July 20, 2000
This review is from: The Organists' Manual: Technical Studies & Selected Compositions for the Organ (Hardcover)
I study the organ with Dr.Susan Marchant (Pittsburg State University), who suggested me to afford one for my personal collection. This book is a fine treatise for organists, it's "a must" for any organist to have one. The book had been complied so well and contains a lot of techniques to help you improving your skills precisely. Believe me, it's so worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a Teacher or Student Could Want, September 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Organists' Manual: Technical Studies & Selected Compositions for the Organ (Hardcover)
My teacher uses this book faithfully for organ instruction and after using it in lessons I can see why: it contains basic exercises for warming up and achieving finger coordination and dexterity. It also contains some of the best organ pieces that a person of any experience can play to increase his or her technique. A must have for teachers and students.
