Let\u2019s start episode 320 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Hanna, and she writes:\n \nHi Vidas,\nThis is what I studied and practiced last month, just recently adding the 2 Minuets and this new one. I don't speak German so can't pronounce it. \n10-Day Pedal Exercise \nIch Ruf zu Dir \nPraise to the Lord \nDoxology \nIf you Could Hie to Kolob- piano/organ duet I am working on to play in sacrament meeting at Church. \nOur Prayer to Thee - Hymn out of the hymnal for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\nMinuet in G Major \n#132 God is in His Holy Temple \nOrgan Technique- listen (I have listed to one 30-min presentation). I am only 5'1" and can't block the church organ up. So it is difficult to skim the pedals like I want to. But I'm trying for better range of motion in my ankles so my heel can reach as I stretch the achilles tendon more. It is a thrill to sense even minor improvement, so your teaching must be working. Thank you. -Hanna
