Hi there,
This is my first post to this forum. I've been reading it for a long and it's full of interesting posts and comments. However I didn't find a thread that covers one question I have, so here it goes:
I'm currently learning organ and piano. However, I must be honest and say that I'm learning piano because it's suppoused to help organ playing. I mean, all organ books and methods (and even the local conservatories) demand very good piano skills before reaching to the organ and carefully state that "organ not before a well grounded piano technique"
I'm nor really a piano lover, I really like the organ. I find sometimes that boths techniques are not only completely different but contradictory; so I don't understand why should I have to learn a technique that at the end of the day won't be used at the organ!!
What's your opinion, I think it's a really interesting debate to have (sorry if it has been already discussed and point me to that threat that I wasn't able to find).
Should I focus on organ and leave piano? Or is it really the right way to go to learn piano and organ.
Cheers
