organ lessons

Learning the pipes

Organ lessons are instruction in playing the pipe organ or electronic organ, typically covering keyboard technique, pedal work, and registration.

The phrase occasionally serves as a euphemism or punchline playing on the anatomical sense of organ: The priest said he was giving the altar boy organ lessons.
