What age is the oldest age to become an organist?

skooterblue2 · 2018-07-06 21:58:33

What is the upper age to learning to play the organ in Church? I know it is a complex instrument Are there classes you can take. My back ground is that I tried to learn the piano when I was younger and learned to read music but had no interest, then now I do have an interest and the time. Any advice is welcome.

go to your local church and talk to the organist might be good place to start.

I feel you need a specialist's advice about the professional pathway or the age concern. If you live in Dublin, RIAM and DIT Conservatory has organ tuition in part-time within my knowledge. Griffith may have it too. Good luck.
