AVA220: It seems to take me ages to learn a hymn
This question was sent by Jan, and she writes:\n\nDear Vidas,\n\nThank you for asking how my practice is going today. \n\nToday I am struggling with hymns. I am not very competent with the pedals. I practice separately...pedals, RH, RH and pedals, LH, LH and pedals, RH and LH, RH LH and pedals. I also write in the pedaling and fingering. It seems to take me ages to learn a hymn; especially as playing a hymn on the piano is very easy. Perhaps I need to do more slow practice and perhaps I need to do more separate practice rather than playing the hymn together over and over again.\n\nOn a more positive note...I have been playing in church for a year now and my playing has definitely improved. I am very pleased. It has been worth all the hard work. \n\nThank you for your help over the last year.\n\nKind Regards,\nJan
