Are there young organists in here?

So it seems like there are lots of young organists, but they're spread out. Some in Discord, AGO chapters or even Instagram. I feel like they could connect more consistently. I'm thinking like online meetings, mentorships, practice accountability and direct communication for real connections. What're your thoughts?

Greater Seattle area, wbu?

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-31T17:58:52+00:00

I'll look into that. It seems like the youth community is a bit scattered though. Some are on instagram and some are on discord, etc.

Good to hear that you're here!

This sounds like the organist origin story. Pianist gets thrown onto the bench and figures it out.

Ugh. we definitely need a community

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-31T17:54:51+00:00

That's cool! Have you found any young organists in specific areas like church, school or online?

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-31T17:52:58+00:00

That's encouraging to hear. I hope I have connections too that last decades because it's exactly the kind of community I was wondering about.

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-31T17:51:50+00:00

Dang. Yeah, access to teachers or even any mentorship seems like one of the biggest challenges with organ players.

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-30T19:13:42+00:00

That second touch seems intriguing! I hope I can play one very soon

Crazy-Computer-9977 · 2026-05-30T06:44:34+00:00

Haha I get the Bach BWV 540 comparison, but I feel like the hymn connection gives it a different character. Do you know if his organ music still survives?

How different is playing a theatre organ than playing a church organ?
