#AskVidasAndAusra 68: My main challenge is old age and lack of practice

Today\u2019s question was sent by Peter, and he writes that his main challenge is old age and lack of practice. To be more specific, he writes:\n\n\u201cI would be interested in any techniques to promote a more flexible heel - the kind of thing you need when playing trills (even slow ones) with one foot.\n\nAlso can you explain why, after 40 years or more, I can still hit the wrong pedal note? (This must mean that, after all this time, I am still not sure of where each pedal is on the pedalboard. I don't have this trouble with fingers on keys. If I make mistakes there, it is nearly always because I mis-read the note, or failed to read the note at all, because I was looking somewhere else on the score.)\u201d\n\nSecrets of Organ Playing - When You Practice, Miracles Happen: http://www.organduo.lt
