Overview

Intentionally a small and selective program, we offer nearly unlimited access to an eclectic collection of pipe organs both on and off campus, weekly lessons that go well beyond the traditional hour-long format of most schools, and abundant performance opportunities.

The Organ program at University of Houston is a selective program offering robust mentoring, world-class pipe organs and outstanding, real-world performance opportunities in the nation’s fourth largest city.

Key Features

The students have been winners and finalists in major international and national organ competitions and the recent graduates have earned full-time employment at churches across the U.S.

Current students are strongly encouraged to hold church positions and we have established several Organ Scholar and Internship positions and actively help the students find employment during their studies.

In addition to competitive scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students, the graduate students also have the opportunity to apply for teaching assistant positions in the areas of organ, theory, or musicology.
