Service Playing & Improvisation with Walden Moore

  • St. Paul's Carroll Street 199 Carroll Street Brooklyn, NY, 11231 United States (map)

We’re excited to host a service playing workshop with renowned educator and organist Walden Moore! This session will focus on ideas, techniques, and skills relevant to what church organists do every Sunday … hymn introductions and interludes between verses, liturgical improvisation/extending hymns/modulation, transitions between anthems, etc.. This workshop is all about results and providing you with information that will have an immediate impact on your service playing.

Walden is a graduate of the Yale Institute of Sacred Music/Yale School of Music,, after organ studies with Robert Baker and Gerre Hancock. He has been organist and choirmaster of Trinity Church (“Trinity on the Green”) in New Haven since 1984, where he works with the renowned Choir of Men and Boys, the Choir of Men and Girls, and the parish mixed-adult choir in a regular schedule of parish services and outside appearances. He has served as clinician, guest conductor, and organist for choir festivals across the nation.
