Hello all,
I am 39 years old and I have just became fascinated by the pipe organ in the church where I work. By the way, I work for nuns and I love it.
One of the sisters told me all about the pipe organ the other day and I immediately became fascinated. I started looking for an instructor to teach me. My wife happened to have a friend that agreed to give me lessons. But I haven't started yet.
I would like to do what I can to get prepared for these lessons, so I have some questions for all of you. In high school I played drums for all of the bands my school had. I learned music in class, but never really used it, except for reading percussion music. I have forgotten all of that, except I can still play the drum kit and read drum music. So I know I need to start learning how to read music again, since I want to learn to play the organ. Is there any particular way I should start teaching myself to read music for the organ?
Is there a cheap organ or keyboard that I can buy for my home so I can practice?
What should I start listening too that might help me?
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
