He regularly performs for community events and has accompanied congregational hymn singing at Brigham Young University devotionals in the Marriott Center.
Teaching and Leadership
In addition to maintaining a private organ studio, Landon teaches group organ classes to non-music majors at BYU, helping students develop the practical skills needed to play the organ with confidence. He has helped train hundreds of organists through stake and temple organ training efforts and at the Utah Valley Institute of Religion, working extensively with students preparing to serve as church organists.

Why This Course Was Created
This course was created to help address the continuing need for trained organists in the Church. Its purpose is to provide a practical and structured approach to organ training that can be used and referred to by individual learners, organ mentors, church leaders, and stake organ training programs. Through sacred music, organists can help others strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ, support meaningful worship, and encourage enthusiastic congregational singing.
