| Introduction | When it comes to me, there's a lot to know—and yet, not so much at all. I'm a young organist, studying under Dr. Don Moe in Rock Hill, SC. I'm just at the threshold of beginning a career in the organ industry (as an apprentice tuner, but with my sights set on designing and building organs of my own), and I direct music and play at the little countryside First Presbyterian Church in Great Falls. A week ago, all I did was play for the church. My life is finally falling back into order, and this blog is how I plan to catalogue it. I also offer musical services, detailed on my repertoire and service blog (which is still somewhat under construction). |
