HAMMOND ORGAN 101

YOUR HAMMOND ORGAN MASTER PLAN

What If Learning HAMMOND ORGAN
Didn't Have to Be Overwhelming?

THE HARDEST PART
ABOUT LEARNING
THE HAMMOND ORGAN ...

It's Not What You Think

If you’ve ever searched online for resources to learn to play the Hammond organ, you’ve probably realized that the options are quite limited…
Even more, if you want to play in the context of a rock or blues band.

I know… I spent years hoping to find information to save me time! 😅
Unfortunately, I had to learn on my own and develop my own learning method!

When you start learning, you quickly realize that there are SO many interesting things to learn, such as the drawbars, the Leslie, the chords and the grooves and so much more.

And all of this creates a problem of confusion and frustration.
There are so many things to learn that you spend your time wondering:

What should I learn next?

What’s the ideal order to learn all these concepts to progress without feeling overwhelmed?

If you don’t know what to focus on first, you’ll quickly feel stuck and demotivated. And instead of moving forward, you’ll go around in circles trying everything new you find on the web.

That’s why trying to learn the organ by yourself is certainly not a good approach to becoming a better keyboardist.

BUT THERE'S A BETTER WAY

I get it. I’ve been there!  

I’ve spent years looking for the right learning practice plan that would allow me to play ANY songs on the organ.

So here’s the thing… After all these years of research, I’ve learned that the best way to learn the organ is by developping a strong and proven practice routine that you can STICK TO.
Consistency is the key when learning the keyboards. 

You need a proven method that will teach you what you need to practice and what's the best order to practice it.


This way you don’t have to figure out what you need to learn next on your own and risk missing out on some very important details to your progress. 

Hey there ... I'm Marine

As strange as it sounds, I’m a former classical trained pianist that always loved pop, blues and rock music. 

15 years ago, going from classical training to Hammond organ seemed impossible. There were no options to learn online and even fewer teachers that knew organ.

So I had to figure out a way to improve gradually on my own and I finally came up with my own organ success path. 
This learning process led me to amazing opportunities like playing for wonderful artists such as Corey Hart and Uncle Kracker.

Today after years of privately teaching my own method to hundreds of students, I finally launched the Online Rock Lessons Academy to be able to help more students around the world. Not everyone has access to organ and piano lessons and my mission was to offer accessible pop, rock and blues keyboard courses to all the keyboard lovers out there.

That’s why I came up with my proven organ and piano path to help you have fun learning piano & keyboards from scratch, at your own pace and on a budget.

Is NOT perfect for you if ...

You're looking for a quick course shortcut

There's no such thing as learning organ overnight. Developing the skill to play an instrument takes passion and time.

You just want to learn songs by ear

Ear training is one of the aspects of a great keyboardist. But if you want to progress you must learn some of the basics and vocabulary.

You want to learn classical and jazz organ

The Organ Method was created for organ players who are looking for more than notes on a sheet music.
Who want to learn the chord symbols language and play freely at the organ.

You want to play guitar

Yeah... wrong course 😅

So… what makes this different from private lessons?

A traditional one-on-one private lesson with a keyboard teacher costs around $60 an hour, every week… that’s $240 a month. Within a year you end up spending around $2,880.

Your membership at Online Rock Lessons will get you a lot more value at a fraction of the cost! 
Our plan starts at just $28 CAN a month!

Why?  Well, it’s very simple.
I want to make keyboard lessons accessible to every keyboard lover around the world.

‘’Just starting the Hammond course and it’s already having a great effect on my play. Getting ready for my new band’s first gig this weekend and I had all my organ drawbar settings programmed in for each song. After spending a couple hours on the first drawbar lessons and trying different settings out, now I’m suddenly starting to use those as well; one song instead of switching leslie speed for some build ups now I’m just adding the last 2 drawbars (to the first 4) for that part and leaving the Leslie slow and it sounds fantastic! Thanks for this great course Marine Lacoste! I so want to rush through it but I’m going to go slow and get the most out of it - can’t wait!’’

I reckon I have tried every online organ course, trying to find something that I can follow, most of them I have spent so much time trying to work out what was played. Unlike yours which is brilliant. Anyway, I just wanted to say a big Thank you.’’

'' Marine’s lessons are awesome. I purchased her lessons on Hold The Line and Smoke On The Water. Her technique is great and have learned so much. I definitely will be purchasing more lessons from her. Thanks Marine! ''
Russ T.
Student
‘’Marine clearly put a lot of time and effort into designing Online Rock Lessons. I'm a new member but already have benefitted greatly from the instruction and attention to detail. The interactive experience has been intuitive, making learning and practicing more enjoyable. One of the challenges I struggle with is maintaining accurate timing, especially when playing complex rhythms and faster tempos. Marine does an excellent job of focusing on the details, demonstrating with helpful camera angles and effective fingering suggestions. I also appreciate Marine's ongoing encouragement and reassurance that it's ok to take your time to gain proficiency with challenging lessons. I still have a long way to go, but I feel like I'm in the right place to learn how to play well in the long run. Thanks, Marine! Best, Jim Brown’’

Frequently Asked Questions

The School

Online Rock Lessons is an online music school and community for piano, keyboards and Hammond organ players. We welcome students from all levels looking to transform their piano skills to the next level.

When you sign up you get access to the full Piano Method course along with an unlimited access to the Online Rock Lessons piano academy, including the courses library, song tutorials, the community, access to the live stream events and so much more. Everything is part of the same membership.

I teach the most of the courses using a piano but everything I’m teaching applies to any keyboards. The concept behind how to play music, grooves and chords will be the same with a Rhodes sound or an organ sound. Whether you’re looking into playing piano or keys, this course should be the first step in your journey.

The Piano Method level 1 is for complete beginners. So you can start from zero and learn all the foundations and techniques you need to progress.
The course has 3 different levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. 

All the courses are pre-recorded and you can ask all the questions you need within the forum or on the lesson page. 

We are also hosting a monthly live stream Q&A that you can attend! It’s part of the membership. 

Unfortunately we do not offer any downloadable video lesson content.  We are a streaming only platform. We encourage you to take as many notes as you need to get the most out of our lessons. 
All the workbooks and the backing tracks are downloadable. 

It completely depends on you! Successful piano players are spending anywhere from 30 minutes a day to 2 hours. If you have a busy schedule no problem you can easily start with 10 minutes a day or practice between 3 to 5 times a week. But remember the more you practice the more progress you will see.

Your membership to the Online Rock Lessons academy are protected by my personal 30-day money back guarantee. That means you can try it for a month without spending any money. 

And if for some strange reason the lessons from the academy don’t make you a better piano player, just send one quick email to our friendly support team.
