Hi All,
I'm looking for a little advice. I'm getting married in July next year, and the church in which we are getting married has a nice organ (two keyboards and around 2 octaves of foot pedals). One of my fiance's ushers is very keen to play the hymns for the wedding. He is a pretty decent keyboard player with piano experience too. I totally understand that there is a huge difference between playing the keyboard and playing the organ, but in reality, he would only have to learn three or so hymns.
So I suppose what I am asking is:
1. Any advice on how he could get a hang of the foot pedals? Is practising in a church the only viable option?
2. Having never played the organ before, if he's reasonably musical, is it reasonable to hope he could learn three songs within about 10 months?
I know it's all a bit vague, but I'd appreciate any comments or advice!
Thanks,
dilly
