But I don't dare tell them the full set of circumstances. I contacted my old organ teacher and asked of she knew of anywhere that would be interested in letting me be an organ scholar. She was thrilled at the suggestion. She contacted the treasurer and they agreed that if I was also willing to sing in the choir while not playing the organ (since I'll be playing just 1 thing every week for now) that the church would pay for my lessons.
The choir is excellent! I sang at my first service there yesterday, and it was very nice. I'm scheduled to start playing the pipe organ in services later this month.
I'm really excited about the opportunity to grow as an organist and to be involved with good music on a weekly basis. I don't dare tell my parents that I'll no longer be attending my YSA ward since I am still somewhat financially dependant on them. I'll just say when they ask that church was great. Sad, since normal parents would be proud instead of devastated.
