Effie has always treated my husband’s organ as a jungle gym, but she has lately shown some inclination to play it the way her dad does. She began by creating a new harmony, adapting a chorale of César Franck to a duet. She needs practice, but shows motivation and even perhaps aptitude–but that’s her stage mom’s observation.
Effie observes her dad’s motions with his hands. . .
She helps by turning a page with her nose. . .
Her turn to try the keys–her long-awaited lesson commences!
She returns to observing Dad’s hand moves. . .
from every angle.
Effie Organmeister!

Wonderful! I too like the cat/piano combination ( I love Nora the piano playing cat!) I am a new piano player and would love it if Tiger or Benji would join me in a duet!

The organ is more complex–two rows of keys, buttons and levers, etc. Vic restored an antique organ and converted it to electronics–it’s awesome, but Effie is pretty undauntable.
Maybe Benji will become your accompanist and upstage Tiger, once and for all!

Yes, I suppose the organ is more complex by the looks of it. Too much for me I’m sure. I’m still struggling to learn piano! 🙂 Effie may yet become a famous organist ..

There’s a problem–Effie can’t reach the keys and pedals at the same time, a significant limitation. She’d probably enjoy being Chief Curator.

I’ll provide photos if you’ll write the story! Maybe it would be so successful that we would create a cat-help foundation! ❤ ^-.-^
