Touring motor glider ppl

hello all,

i just registered , although I have been reading the forum for a long time.

I started ppl in a single engine piston, at the moment I have 15 hours logged. I am considering changing the flight school, I am not very satisfied with my current school. Going throughout some old threads in this forum I found it is possible to get ppl in a touring motor glider . My long term goal in the flying world is not becoming a commercial pilot, just flying for fun and getting along the way some interesting ratings such as aerobatic and seaplane. Also I have heard that starting with gliders makes you a better pilot in the long run, I don't know to what extend this is true however I love the idea of shutting down the engine and just enjoy flying with no engine noise. so my question is : if i continue now with the TMG school will the hours that I already have logged in the sep count towards the 45 h minimum.
forgot to mention that this will be all done in an EASA country,

thanks alot!
