With more than 40 years as a church musician in Canada and as a teacher of organ at the university level, Jan Overduin shows that improvisation requires neither a virtuosic command of the instrument nor a magisterial command of music theory. These simple but satisfying, loosely-graded, exercises are aimed at bolstering self-confidence and enable the student to improvise from the start. Various techniques and forms are explored as the lessons progress. 224 pages, spiralbound to sit flat on the music rack.
