Some people who signed up or are intending to sign up for my new "Organ Sight-Reading Master Course" have been asking me some important questions. I thought these questions might be valid to other organists, so I am sharing them with you today.
(By the way, to everyone who has already signed up... congratulations! This is going to be an awesome time!)
1) Question: What is the duration of this course?
Answer: This course is designed to be taken over 9 months - once a week I will send you the sight-reading materials to download, save, print and practice.
2) Question: I have no possibility to practice during the following 2 months so I was wondering, if I buy this master course in one payment now, would it still work if I kept all the materials you send each week and compile it and start working on it when I have the time available?
Answer: I completely understand that some people will be unable to practice for 9 months straight. That's why there are no deadlines in my course. When you receive practice materials, save them for later date and when you are ready, you can begin to work at your own pace. In fact, if you practice for a while and something comes up and you have to stop for some time - don't worry, you can pick up where you left (with some repetition of previously learned material, of course).

3) Question: Is the material to be covered only once (from beginning to the end of that day's section) and then not ever repeated; or is it meant to be sight-read, and then mastered before proceeding on the next day to the next section?
Answer: Playing once is enough because it is sight-reading but if you have time, playing two or tree times will be even better. Basically it also depends on how easy it will go. If you feel that the material at the beginning is easy to sight-read fluently at a slow speed, you can speed up the tempo a bit. Just try it and you'll get the feel of it. For best results Pick such a tempo which allows you to avoid mistakes.

4) Question: How is the practice material structured?
Answer: I am using a very systematic step-by-step approach. At first, you will learn how to sight-read separate voices (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), then all of the possible combinations of 2 voices, later we move to 3-voice combinations, and finally - the entire 4-part texture. Even though you might have very limited technical abilities today, while practicing the materials of this course you will begin to feel how each new combination is just one step way and never out of reach.
5) Question: How long does it take to learn the practice materials for each day?
Answer: Your total time spent practicing sight-reading should not be more than 15 minutes a day. The real results of this course come not from long hours of practicing every day but from the regular and wise practice over the period of nine months.
6) Question: How unique is this course compared to any other sight-reading course available today?
Answer: There is no other organ sight-reading course like this on the market today because it is so systematic and is based on one of the greatest master-pieces of human mind - Bach's "The Art of the Fugue" (plus some of the best known organ works of Bach as well).
7) What if I get stuck in some difficult spot? Will you help me solve the problem?
Answer: You will receive an unlimited email access to me over your subscription time. So if you get into any problem along the way or have a question of any kind, just ask me - I'll be always here to help you out.
