    Hey y'all.

    I'm a trained pianist who needs to learn how to better play the organ.

    Whenever I've been asked to play the organ for mass, I find myself playing it like a piano, timidly tucking my feet up under the bench to avoid the pedals, and not venturing into experimenting with the stops.

    Do any of you have free, online recommendations for budding organists? Maybe, a Youtube channel you really enjoy? I ask only because of the lack of organists in my area, and because I can't budget for lessons at this time.

    Pax,

    I would check out the SACRED MUSIC LIBRARY they offer alot of resources for pianist transitioning to organ.

    I remember someone saying piano is about the attack on the keys and organ is about the release. That resonated with me.

    Regarding stops, I think the best thing to do is figure out which stops are principals, which are flutes, which are strings, which are reeds, and build registrations from there.
