\nDear Vidas,
\n
\nMy answers to your recent questions:
\n
\n1. My dream is to be able to play the organ confidently in the liturgy and perhaps in recitals occasionally.
\n
\n2. The 3 most important things holding me back from this are:
\n
\n- Poor sense of timing and rhythm
\n- Lack of focus and concentration in practicing
\n- My legs are both slightly twisted outwards, which makes some pedaling uncomfortable (especially around the middle of the pedalboard; I cannot place my knees close together without great effort)
\n
\nNonetheless, I am finding Total Organist a very useful resource and community. I find your daily emails especially helpful.
\n
\nMy best wishes to you and Ausra from England,  Andrew
