The UNCG School of Music Keyboard Area supports comprehensive undergraduate and graduate degree programs. At the undergraduate level, a student may major in piano performance, organ performance, or jazz piano performance. Keyboard students may also pursue the Bachelor of Music in Music Education or the Bachelor of Arts.

Graduate keyboard students can pursue the MM Music Performance degree, with concentrations in Piano Performance, Historical Keyboard Instruments, Organ, Collaborative Piano, or Piano Pedagogy. UNCG offers the only North Carolina Doctor of Musical Arts degree, with majors available in Collaborative Piano (one of only two offered in the Southeast), Piano, Organ, and Historical Keyboard Performance as well as the only Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Historical Keyboard Performance in the region.Interested in Applying?

Members of the keyboard faculty offer a wide range of backgrounds and expertise in the fields of performance (piano, organ, and historical keyboard instruments), piano and organ pedagogy, piano and organ literature, keyboard harmony, jazz piano, and vocal and instrumental accompanying. They perform regularly throughout the world and can be heard on numerous CD recordings.

For the pre-college student, the faculty offers two one-week summer piano camps in July, attracting 80 students each week. Each year, the keyboard faculty offers a one-day High School Keyboard Day of master classes and performances.

The SMC Piano Camp is available to students from Grades 6 through 12 who have studied piano for at least two years, and are currently studying privately. Instruction in piano technique, keyboard literature, basic musicianship, ensemble playing and theory are studied during the week. Each student will receive two piano lessons during the camp and will likely be introduced to the organ, harpsichord and pianoforte. All Piano Camp students will also participate in a mixed chorus. Piano campers enjoy a busy, fun-filled week of learning more about music, performing, and making new friends.

High School Keyboard Day is held annually at UNCG. Keyboard faculty from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro will offer master classes to high school piano and organ students during the twelfth annual iteration of the event.

I have a keyboard. It can play the basic MIDI sounds. I would like it to have a Hammond organ sound. Since I'm not sure if I can upload new sounds to its MIDI bank, I'm looking for a way to 'effect' my keyboard, so it would sound like a Hammond organ while I'm playing. I do not wish to record what I play, I need this live.

The keyboard has MIDI input/output, so I'm thinking about a setup like this: I connect the MIDI output to my laptop, and the laptop sound output to the amplifier. And as I play, the sound actually comes from the laptop sounding like a Hammond organ. Is there a software to do this, or any other method? (Preferably a free one, but I don't mind paying for it either.)

This is a deep subject. I can tell from your initial question (before we edited it) that you are unfamiliar with the concepts involved with using a MIDI controller keyboard with a computer, with virtual software instruments, and with interfacing the audio output of a computer with a PA system or amplifier. You need to learn about all these concepts.

You also need to get an understanding of how MIDI controller keyboards work, a USB MIDI interface, and an external audio interface for a computer. Then there's the question of Mac versus PC, and whether or not your computer has the necessary hardware specifications to support virtual software instruments and professional-quality audio output.

The obvious solution is indeed to use a hammond plugin on a laptop, but you will need a good audio interface to use this live because otherwise you will either not get the latency low enough or risk audio dropouts. The more trouble-free solution is a hardware expander module specialized for hammond organ.

I was pretty happy with the organ sounds from the Boss 'Dr. Rhythm-Section'. It only had 4 or 5 organ choices, but they all sound good (and only one was "churchy"). It can be used as a MIDI module (as the sound-generator connected by MIDI to a keyboard controller).

But there is another consideration I have not seen mentioned here yet, and that is that an essential part of what is perceived as "the Hammond sound" is a rotating Leslie speaker. "The Hammond sound" on its own is supposed to be a "portable" electromechanic substitute for a church organ. And it looks like one, too, so the Hammond organ players in rock bands tend to look quite out of style with their living-room furniture-style organ.

But for a smallish live audience, the Leslie cabinet will be what you want in order to be in style. The Hammond organ driving it can be reasonably replaced with electronic or digital substitutes without affecting the listeners much (of course, as a player having the full console or not is making things feel different).

The EmU B3 module is a pretty good Hammond emulator but of course you don't get the drawbars.

But if you set up lots of your favourite presets you can scroll between them.

This connects to your MIDI keyboard.

Adding rotary speaker and distortion externally can really give good results.

Alternatively (and more costly) get a MIDI "sound module" which has Hammond organ sounds - this is hardware, and you won't need the laptop. The sound module connects directly to the keyboard via a MIDI cable but it will also need some amplification on it's output.

Plug your keyboard into a Leslie/tremelo guitar pedal (100 bucks) or a dunlop univibe for speed control on the leslie effect. Also a guitar volume pedal, most organ players play a chord or lick and then roll off or on the volume for effect. What you won't get is drawbar settings which is like half the thing, like John medeski will hold a chord and mess with drawbars continually. But a univibe and a volume pedal will help. It will still sound like a casio organ but hey, try it out.

I was and still am a big fan of the B4 and B4mk2 software, which IMHO beat the hell out of VB3 and most of the other software offerings available. As for hardware clones, they fall into either the older Analog keyboards -like the original BX and Cx from Korg and the Roland VK1 which have character but don't sound like a Hammond- Or the Digital Clone Wheel types, which mostly are either remodeled software or sampled.I have tried most of the Nord C2d Vk8 Vk7 Cx3mk2 and even cheaper stuff, like the Viscount DB3. I have yet to get near a HOAX or a Legend, which both look promising. I also recently stumbled across software called Blue3. I tried the demo version, and for $99, it wasn't half bad. IMO, it was better than VB3 and as good as B4 Mk2, if not better. I also tried several clones with Hammond written on them.

For small venue gigs, I use an original ventilator pedal and either B4 on a laptop or DB3, which despite its shortfalls (the vibrato and percussion being wrong) has a good basic tone, and with the Vent, it does the job. I have found that most clones will pass in the middle of the keyboard and fall down badly at the top end. And to be honest, if you're trying to emulate J DeFrancesco, then frankly anything can be passed off as a Hammond, but will come up short if you're trying to do a Stevie Windwood or an Ian Mclagen.

We played a benefit freebie last weekend with the back line supplied by the house. Black Stars were there for the guitars and bass. An old 1980's Peavey KB 60 was what I had to run through. I was amazed though...shocked really...for how well that little kbd amp cut through the stage sound and it was only set about half way up on volume. It wasn't crystal crisp or anything, but handled synth, organ, and piano sounds quite well.

There's plenty of piano and organ in support and lead roles in 60s surf - Dick Dale's "Death of a Gremmie" has a really cool piano line. And then there's The Chantays' "Pipeline," The New Dimensions' "National Breakout," the Avengers VI's "Time Bomb," The Tempomen's "Midnight on Pier 13" ... that's just the tip of the iceberg, really.


As for more modern stuff, check out The Bomboras - they had a lot of organ-led songs, and (unlike the Boss Martians) had some interesting organ parts supporting the guitar-led songs. Also, The Surfites are probably the only current surf band to use electric piano pretty extensively.

There is a lot of piano and keyboards in surf music. Of course there is Pipeline with the electric piano. Check out Dave Myer's & The Surftones "Gear" for another track with piano. Organ appeared more in the mid to late 60's. The Avenger's VI "Time Bomb" is a great track with organ.

No piano in surf music? There's lots of keyboards of all sorts in early surf and related instrumental music. More piano than organ at first, I think, though the organ is probably more favored now. Heck, there's piano in Misirlou, Mr Moto, and Pipeline. I'm not sure how the rumor got started that surf music was guitar only music, but it seems to be widely entrenched. It certainly is good guitar music, of course, and you can't very well leave out the guitar and drums as you can the keyboards and saxophone and occasionally even the bass. 


I believe surf music benefits greatly with the addition of a wurlitzer or vox continental (farfisa or other combo organs). They just really add an extra dimension.

The wurlitzer electric piano should be considered integral to surf music, since that's the one they used on 'Pipeline'.

Jim Roberts of the Belairs also contributed some very nice piano and organ for the Challengers through the years, most notably on their third LP "On the Move - Surfing Around the World" - check out "The Breeze and I", "Adventures in Paradise" and "On The Move". 17dc91bb1f
