Would you like to feel such a strong urge to practice every day that if you skip just one day, you will feel strange, kind of like something important is missing in your day.
And when you do practice, how about seeing amazing results from your efforts, be it pedal playing, sight-reading, transposition, repertoire, hymn playing, improvisation, music theory or harmony?
If so, you will love our daily accountability feature in our Total Organist communication channel at Basecamp.
You will not only know exactly what your goals are for each day, week or month, but you will also see what other Total Organist students are learning.
This feature alone will quadruple your motivation and results of your practice because you will feel accountable and supported by our little community.
Bellow are some things that some of our students last weekend:
(July 21)
Jur:
I worked on BWV 639, Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ. As recommended by Vidas I split the piece in 7 segments. I can now play the first segment in the right tempo and the second segment is coming together as well. I am not an advanced player and getting this far has taken me 5 days. It is hard to resist the temptation to rush ahead and try to play the entire piece!
Barbara
So far (EDT, still morning), I've researched music for small organ and french horn for an upcoming church service. Not much luck. Keyboard, pedal exercises, and sight reading this afternoon.
David:
In Dir ist Freude, BWV 615 and More Palatino by Sweelinck
Andrew:
Revisiting “Jesu, Meine Freude” by Krebs - that last line is still a challenge. There’s so much going on note by note across the voices, and it all has to happen with precision and clarity.
(July 22)
Andrew:
Jesu, meine Freude (Krebs) - now going smoothly. [Notice the improvement from the day before]
John:
I'm working on Day 3 of "10 Day Pedal Playing Challenge". Some of the thirds with one foot are difficult for me. For example E-G in the left foot, toe - heel (bar 3). I can do that if I start in the lowest octave of the pedalboard, but find it much more difficult if I begin an octave higher. If I do start at the lowest octave, then the E-C with right foot, toe-heel (also in bar 3) becomes a problem. I'll keep at it.
Here's what one of our students is saying about Total Organist:
"I am taking a lot away from it. Pedal virtuoso program has helped a lot with my pedal work, as has the transposition course. I began the prelude improvisation formula, but put it by the wayside for a little while. Will try to return to it in the fall. Thank you mostly for the fingering recommendations! "
