Dear Vidas,
My answers to your recent questions:
1. My dream is to be able to play the organ confidently in the liturgy and perhaps in recitals occasionally.
2. The 3 most important things holding me back from this are:
- Poor sense of timing and rhythm
- Lack of focus and concentration in practicing
- My legs are both slightly twisted outwards, which makes some pedaling uncomfortable (especially around the middle of the pedalboard; I cannot place my knees close together without great effort)
Nonetheless, I am finding Total Organist a very useful resource and community. I find your daily emails especially helpful.
My best wishes to you and Ausra from England, Andrew
