| Got Organists? Need Training? How to Host a Super Saturday |
| Presenter: Lori Serr |
| For the past several years, the Utah Valley Chapter of the AGO located in Provo, UT, has successfully organized and sponsored Super Saturday training workshops for the church organist. It has served as an outreach from the guild to the community to help church organists improve and enhance their service-playing skills while at the same time increasing awareness of the AGO and its purposes. Organ training is offered at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels and includes educational workshops, 25-minute private lessons, and opportunities for social interaction with fellow church musicians. It also serves as a perfect first exposure to the organ for pianists.
