Now that you have asked, We suggest the following books for the basic library for the Rodgers Organist: 1. The Rodgers Owners Manual for the instrument you are playing 2. The Frog Music Press GUIDE TO PLAYING THE... for that instrument. Now available: Trillium, PDI and Insignia Series books. More to come. These books have about 24 Topics, each topic has a music example to go with it. Some existing organ music, some composed for the book. May I recommend the triptych of WEXFORD, KINGSFOLD and O WALY WALY that I arranged, which are now coming out for Cello and Piano as well? Lauren Gadd has done some first-rate composing for these books as well. Which one are you playing? The most recent organs, the Trilliums, are easy to identify, as they display a Trillium flower in the display window on boot up. The PDI's are earlier, have a display window, but no flower. The Insignias will show their name in the window when booting. You may also look under the keybed (lie on your back on the floor, head on the bass end of the pedalboard to do this) and read the model number. There is a simple page with model numbers to match on you home page that tells you which organ you have based on the three digit model number. Note: The current Rodgers 527 uses the soon-to be released Global series book along with all 520, 530, 525, and 535's. 3. If you are going to use MIDI, we recommend PLAYING MIDI LIVE from the Frog as well. Lot's of music to play on the organ using MIDI. You will need a MIDI Voice Module to use this book. The PR-300 and SC8820 are good choices, 4. If you are going to use the PR-300, have the owner's manual on your shelf and: 5. USING THE RODGERS PR-300 from the Frog.
