Andrew Gilbert ALCM (TD), DipLCM
Music Teacher, Organist and Computer Specialist

Included in these downloads are some teaching materials that I hope may help you, some true anecdotes from my many years in the music business, a little music-related humour and some odds and ends. I’ve now included some helpful instruction sheets for those players who have higher end Yamaha keyboards and Clavinova Pianos. There are some exclusive sheet music files for you to try out on organ, piano and keyboard, plus lots of mp3 audio files for you to listen to. By clicking on the titles below, you'll be linked to www.box.com and there you'll be able to download them or, in the case of audio files, just stream them and listen. The audio files feature me playing, both live and multi-tracked, on various instruments from 1974 to the present day. I’ve also added links to the first few in a series of Youtube videos featuring me at various organs, starting with some at the updated Hammond model X-66 at the Wight Hotel, Sandown, Isle of Wight, now affectionately known as the X-666. There’s also a very rare video/audio clip of me playing a duet with the late, great Brian Sharp during our 1979 Kawai tour of Japan. I am playing the Kawai T10 organ and Brian is playing the Kawai see-through ‘Crystal Piano’. Finally, courtesy of my good friend Mike Bracchi, there’s a “20 Minutes of Andrew Gilbert” video, featuring me at various organs.


All the following links were checked during the website’s latest update but things can sometimes go wrong, so please report any broken or incorrect links so that they may be fixed. In the meantime, you can simply email me and I'll send you whatever is 'missing'. Thanks.
