Wilma Jensen has just released a 2-DVD teaching video, Organizing Notes in Space: Developing Organ Technique and Musicality.
A booklet accompanies the DVDs, with descriptions of various kinds of techniques as well as a reference list of the resources Wilma Jensen has found most helpful in her own career.
The video begins with Jensen’s presenting three lessons, which explain the physical gestures important for developing special organ techniques and touches.
Seven individual lessons follow with former students and organists who have coached with Jensen: Mary Catherine Race, Samuel Hutchison, Caroline Robinson, Andrew Peters, Gayle Sullivan, Susan DeKam, and Parker Ramsay.
The video ends in “A Conversation with Janette Fishell and Wilma Jensen,” in which they discuss their diverse musical backgrounds as teachers, church musicians, and performers, and how these experiences have influenced their general approach to teaching.
