It is with great excitement that I invite you to explore Keyboard to Keyboard, GIA’s new resource for keyboard players. Whether you are a pianist who is looking for guidance on how to play the organ or an organist who would like to hone your skills, I say WELCOME!

Each blog entry will feature various aspects of organ playing and will include perspectives from church musicians, articles about organ construction and registration, videos on organ techniques, and online and print resources.

¡Cantemos Amén! explores the many facets of Hispanic music ministry. From repertoire to liturgical practices and application, this blog breaks open important topics so that those engaged in this ministry can benefit from pastoral insights and experience.
