Hello I am a believer in Christ. Now with that said miracles are abundant. How bad do you want to learn? I have this calling to learn the organ to play in church. Perhaps if you have a desire for God's good I feel that the uphill battle will be trivial. I think it is never too late to learn.
I don't get it what makes people feel that it is too late? It is your life and we are all different we all have a calling, and if a desire keeps beckoning you then it is meant to be go for it and do it. Desire if kept and nurtured will see you through no matter how daunting the task may be. God+desire+faith+desire=success. Mike.

RE: Learning How to Play an Organ
A 40 year old is not too old to learn to play. I'm 55. A couple of years ago, I learned how to play the piano. I now play some in front of others. Get a good piano book and practice. With God's help, I learned, and so can anyone else.

The easiest and best way is to label your keys; A through G across the main keyboard. Then get th E-Z piano sheet music(check ebay to buy) and simply follow along the music staffs by stroking the keys in the order listed. I am in my 40's and have taught myself. What a joy!

I agree with Laura J. Learn to "go with your ears". You will soon learn the places of the little black dots and the notes on the keyboard. Stick with it.....it'll be worth it! x

Learning how to play is not so hard. If you want to be accomplished at it, you should take lessons. I have 8 years of Conservatory under my belt and it was a long, long haul. I would buy one good book and learn how to read music. Once you do that, you can play anything from sheet music (starting with the easiest ones ofcourse) Then, not only will you know what you are looking at when faced with a keyboard, but you'll be learning a universal language that carries over to all instruments. Training your ear is also a big plus. I can listen to a song, go to the piano and have the gist of it almost immediately. I don't buy sheet music, don't have finances for lessons for the kids. If they have a song that they want to learn, I get them to play it on the computer and then ask them....what do you hear? Just play, practise, listen and enjoy and you will constantly improve. Good luck!

Perhaps you could barter with a piano or organ teacher?
