Have you ever wanted to start to practice on the organ but found yourself sidetracked after a few days? Apparently your inner motivation wasn't enough.
I know how you feel. I also was stuck many times. What helped me was to find some external motivation as well.
In order for you to advance your organ playing skills and help you motivate to practice, my wife Ausra - @laputis and I invite you to join in a contest to submit your organ music and win some Steem.
Are you an experienced organist? You can participate easily. Are you a beginner? No problem. This contest is open to every organ music loving Steemian.

- It's sort of open mic contest for organ music - no limitation to length, level of difficulty, genre etc.

Great competition. Organ music is always a pleasure to listen to.
I was at a concert in Salzburg once.
There's a huge organ and it was an unforgettable sight, @organduo
Maybe I was there with you too. Back in the summer of 2000. Fabulous place.

I was there a little later, in 2009 in September : -)
I really liked it!
Los organos suenan muy bien, mi mamá ha tocado organo y mi abuelo también. Yo estoy estudiando violin.
Violin is very nice!
