SOPP391: I made some mistakes on a couple of verses and it didn't go as I would have liked
This question was sent by Jay and Jay is on the team who transcribes our Podcast conversations. He wrote:\n \n\u201cYesterday, I played organ for my church services (don't get to do that real often). I had practiced the hymns during the week so I felt comfortable with them. During one of them, I made some mistakes on a couple of verses and it didn't go as I would have liked. By the time I got to the third verse I had recovered and it went well.\n\u200b\nSo there are a couple of issues I continue to work on.\n\n1) Volume pedals/swell and great on this organ. When I try to adjust the levels during playing, I have problems and make mistakes in playing. Working the pedals needs to be practiced, like everything else, I guess.\n\n2) Control. I think everyone makes mistakes while playing, to one degree or another (maybe even Vidas\u2014probably not Ausra though \U0001f642). The key seems to be, at least to me, how fast we can recover and move on through the piece. Gotta work on technique.\u201d
