One of the biggest challenges for organ players is knowing what to play and when to play it. You’ll learn how to support the song, work with the rhythm section, complement other instruments, and create organ parts that make the entire band sound bigger, fuller, and more exciting.
By combining the technical knowledge from Part 1 with the musical concepts from Part 2, you’ll develop the skills, confidence, and understanding needed to sit down at an organ and play with expression, feel, and authenticity.
‘’Just starting the Hammond course and it’s already having a great effect on my play. Getting ready for my new band’s first gig this weekend and I had all my organ drawbar settings programmed in for each song. After spending a couple hours on the first drawbar lessons and trying different settings out, now I’m suddenly starting to use those as well, it sounds fantastic!
Thanks for this great course Marine Lacoste! I so want to rush through it but I’m going to go slow and get the most out of it – can’t wait!’’ – Tony L.

Absolutely. All lessons are pre-recorded and available 24/7, allowing you to learn whenever it’s convenient for you.
You don’t need a vintage Hammond organ to take this course. However, you should have access to an organ, keyboard, or software instrument that allows you to control the essential organ features such as drawbars, Leslie (rotary speaker), percussion, chorus, and vibrato. These controls are an important part of the lessons and will help you get the most authentic organ-playing experience possible.
