Study on the Mander organ
at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ladue

Your lessons will be on the three-manual Mander organ at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ladue. This fine instrument, installed in 2001, is the largest mechanical-action organ in the St. Louis region.

This organ, with just shy of 3,000 pipes, is well-suited to the music of almost all periods and styles. It is an especially good “teacher” for Baroque music.

St. Peter’s boasts a state-of-the-art recording system that is available for recording lessons and studio recitals in high fidelity.
