Practise organs:
Students will have the opportunity to practise on organs in Haarlem and the surrounding area. Please note that these instruments will only be available during daytime. Practise sessions cannot be guaranteed for students attending three 2-hour courses a day. It is strongly recommended that all students prepare the academy repertoire thoroughly at home.
N.B.:
Please note that students will not be able to practise on the Müller organ in the St. Bavokerk, as it will be in continuous use for lessons and recitals.
