UT offers several programs under which students may study organ as a principal instrument. These include the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, the Bachelor of Music degree in Organ Performance, Sacred Music, or Music Education, the Master of Music degree in Organ Performance, and the Artist Certificate in Organ. Students majoring in other fields can earn a minor in Music with organ as the principal instrument, or may study organ as a secondary or elective course. Organ lessons provide students with an opportunity to develop their abilities in the areas of technique, repertoire, and practical church service playing skills. All students perform regularly in the weekly organ class, and majors and minors play a prepared jury performance at the end of each semester. Organ majors also perform solo recitals as a part of their course of study. UT organ students also have opportunities to participate in master classes, lead Student Organ Encounter Days for young keyboardists, and participate in Knoxville Chapter American Guild of Organists’ Recitals.
