<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At 2:00 pm, Dan will present a concert at Trinity Baptist Church, 1088 Hughes Road in Madison on the church&#8217;s new Rodgers 3 manual Trillium Masterpiece Organ.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At 6:00 pm, Dan will play the 3 manual Rodgers Masterpiece Signature Series Organ in the beautiful new sanctuary of Calvary Baptist Church, 126 Douglas Road in Huntsville.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each of these organs have unique tonal characteristics and are based on different samples from Rodgers library of sounds originating  from some of the world&#8217;s finest pipe organs. Rodgers exclusive Parallel Digital Imaging replicates the sound of actual pipes with amazing warmth and clarity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why not make it a Dan Miller day and attend both concerts!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dan has a reputation for  leaving audiences thrilled at the music and emotionally impacted by the beauty of the organ with all its variety of colors and moods. It will be a great way to start your week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A church organist since age fifteen, Dan Miller has served at notable churches across the country. As  Organist and Minister of Music at Calvary Church in Charlotte, Dan had the privilege of being part of the design team for Calvary&#8217;s new organ. This magnificent organ is the thirteenth largest playable organ in the world and is internationally renowned as one of &#8220;the&#8221; organs in history. When asked, Dan admits that the Calvary Grand Organ is probably his favorite organ. At Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale, he served as assistant organist to Diane Bish and was a Founding Member and Director of The Voices in Bronze handbell ensemble. Currently Dan is the Organist for St. Matthew Lutheran Church and the Artist in Residence for Bethel Congregational Church in Beaverton, Oregon. He also serves many churches nationwide as Guest Organist for their worship services.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dan has widely played and concertized around the country at some of the most renowned instruments, including the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia and the Methuen Memorial Music Hall in Massachusetts,  the Mormon Tabernacle and the Crystal Cathedral. He&#8217;s even performed with the Muppets!  He has been seen and heard live in concert and through recordings on radio, television, and the internet and has been the featured solo organist with several symphony orchestras.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mr. Miller has recorded 20 organ compact discs, of which some selections have been broadcast on National Public Radio’s “Pipedreams.” His first CD, The Calvary Organ Dedication, was chosen as “The Organ CD to Die For” by Stereophile magazine in its February 1994 issue. Many of these CD&#8217;s will be available after the concert.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He is a former Dean of the Ft. Lauderdale chapter of The American Guild of Organists, and has served the Portland chapter AGO as Membership Coordinator.  Since 1999 Mr. Miller has held the distinguished position of Product Manager at Rodgers Instruments LLC, one of the world’s leading organ builders, in Hillsboro, Oregon. In this position, Dan oversees the entire artistic direction of the celebrated &#8220;Rodger&#8217;s sound&#8221;.  In addition to his responsibilities at Rodgers, Dan enjoys working  as consultant and advisor in designing heroic grand organs of world-class significance and pre-eminence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mark your calendars now to experience one or both of these exciting concerts. This would be a great opportunity to introduce the beauty of the organ with all its variety of colors and moods to friends and younger students.</p>

<h5><a href="http://huntsvilleago.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/hands-on-keys.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-162" title="hands on keys" src="http://huntsvilleago.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/hands-on-keys.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="109" /></a>Has playing become painful?</h5>
<h5>Trouble seeing the music with bifocals?</h5>
<h5>Tension and anxiety in playing and in daily life?</h5>
<h5></h5>
<h5>The <a title="Alexander Technique" href="http://www.alexandertechnique.com/" target="_blank">Alexander Technique</a> has long been associated with the answers to these and other problems faced by performing artists.</h5>
<p><a title="Sally Ahner" href="http://www.sallyahner.com/pages/sally-ahner.html" target="_blank">Sally Ahner</a>, ATI-certified teacher of the Technique, will lead you in an exploration of your basic body structure so that you can sit more comfortably at the instrument and move with more ease and freedom.  Issues of performance anxiety and excess tension will also be addressed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Schedule </span></em></p>
<p>10 AM – Noon    Interactive lecture with demonstration</p>
<p>(<em>Lunch break on your own)</em></p>
<p>2 PM – 3 PM  Session 1</p>
<p>3 PM – 4 PM  Session 2</p>
<p>4 PM – 5 PM  Session 3</p>
<p>These are small-group (2-6) sessions for those who wish to learn more.  They involve gentle touch as well as verbal instruction.  Wear comfortable clothes for lying down on the floor as you learn a practice (constructive rest) that can relieve tension and help restore ease and freedom of movement. Additional fee for a one-hour session: $40/person.  To register for afternoon sessions, please send an email to <a title="mail to dean@huntsvilleago.org" href="mailto:dean@huntsvilleago.org" target="_blank">dean@huntsvilleago.org</a> with your name and preferred session.</p>
