Jan Overduin teaches in the Faculty of Music at
Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, and serves as
Director of Music at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church in Kitchener,
Ontario. He studied organ with Gordon Jeffrey, Marie-Claire Alain,
Peter Hurford, and Jean Langlais, is a Fellow of the Royal Canadian
College of Organists, and frequently performs in Europe and the
United States.
Overduin's Making Music is strong on practicalities, and, because
the path it proposes is made so user-friendly and so little remains
mystifying, it may actually open doors for those willing to make
the effort to enter.

congregational hymns, an interesting procedure that I have not seen
discussed elsewhere.
