Organ & Church Music
Develop your musical gift and take your place in a revered musical tradition.
Our students experience a broad range of pipe organs and harpsichords here in the TCU School of Music. You’ll elevate your pipe organ skills on our four-manual, 60-rank Möller (tonal design by Richard Whitelegg), a three-manual, 36-rank Ross King, a two-manual, 19-rank Sipe tracker, a continuo organ by Bennett and Guittari, and practice organs by Möller and Reuter. And you can explore the harpsichord with our instruments by Richard Kingston and Johannes Klinkhamer.
