AVA134: My main initial goals will be those of a pianist who wishes to extend into the organ
This question was sent by Bruce, and he writes:\n\n\u201cThanks for extending my review period of Total Organist - it will be a help. I will be traveling most of December, taking care of family, and won't be able to get to the organ much.\n\nThanks for asking what I'm currently struggling with. My main initial goals will be those of a pianist who wishes to extend into the organ. I'm thinking some things will be especially new to me:\n\nPedalwork, of course. It's a real mind twister for me, to play pedals while keeping my left hand doing what it is supposed to do. It's weird, how getting my brain to accept that footwork is necessarily independent of bass lines as processed by the left hand. Fascinating, actually - I'm hoping it will be fun to work this out. From your inventory of teaching aids, I expect I'll start with your pedal course, and also look into your course in left hand skills. And l welcome your advice on how to get started with pedals.\u201d
