I have just discovered your videos. I have played theatre organ over 40 years and had a 10 rank Wurlitzer, Moller, Estey, hybrid in my home until I lost it in a house fire. I now built a VTPO in an old Marr& Colton console. The sound stinks after having pipes for 20 years. Your videos are bringing me back to life at the console since I rarely play any more. Thanks.

Jim Delighted you watched the videos and that they have inspired you to play again. Whilst the sound or 'real' pipes is like nothing else the modern electronic organs come close for the home player. I would try Hauptwerk for your VTPO setup as there is a free version for home play. Combine this is the Paramount 3/10 free sound set and you will get a nice home setup. For details my distance learning theatre organ lesson get in touch via my website www.tomhorton.co.uk - you'll also find a rather Wurlitzer CD album you might enjoy for Xmas! Best regards Tom

Thank you Tom, I am following your tutorials with interest. I think I have these particular patterns down already but others won't have so it is still a very valuable lesson. I am a fan of your playing. When you are demonstrating that famous brand, I always enjoy your sections on the organ sounds without any auto accompaniment.

Wonderful!! I've played piano almost all of my life, and was finally overjoyed to start pipe organ lessons a few years ago ...only to have to quit 'cause I lost my job! :,-( But playing a theater organ is my dream; ultimately to play silent movie accompaniment! So thank you for a nice little "re-starter" video - I'll definitely use these techniques when I start lessons again one day!! Thank you, Tom - you've made a happy new fan today!! :-)

I was going to say exactly that, Richard. I learned these bass and rhythm patterns on a leaky old 24-bass when I was a teenager; now I have a 120-bass, I can use the contra-bass buttons to do all sorts of fancy patterns. It has no electronics - just air and reeds. Wise words, Tom.

Accordions are fantastic instruments. They are very theatre organ like, being reed organs of course. I have the ORLA KX 10 keyboard - it contains 40 of the best accordion samples ever made. I have now linked it to my computer to play a MIGHTY MIDITZER ! ! !

I have rewatched this video to try and finally get my brain and feet to master the Rumba. Out of curiosity do you have any generalised suggestions for a quickstep beat? The Mayfair Quickstep for instance is such a classic at the Tower Ballroom (often paired with Sweet & Lovely I believe). Thank you for these great videos Mr Horton.

Hello Tom just to say I am starting to take piano lessons after a number of years and I hoping the piano will build me up to both the theatre & classical organ and these learning skills are fantastic, PS mentioning the Latin styles of playing could you play the tune Perfidia please? Because that’s my favourite tune, especially either to the Rhumba or Cha Cha.
