This morning I went to church to practice to prepare for my upcoming "More Palatino" recital and as I was playing, I thought about how can I help you grow to the next level in organ playing faster. I realized that producing fingering and pedaling for organ scores doesn't necessarily give you results that you want. Sure, it will save you many hours and put you on the right track but you wouldn't necessarily know if you're playing correctly. Yes, I can create training programs that teach you many things (and I do that) but what do you do when you feel stuck? When you don't know what to do next... When you're afraid you're not going to make it in time for the recital or church service... When you keep hitting the wrong notes consistently... When you can't find the right pedals on the pedalboard... When you sit down to improvise and don't know what to play... When you try to sight-read organ music it's just too overwhelming... When you can't manage 4-part hymn playing texture... When you don't know what kind of organ stops to use on your piece... When you don't know what those chords in your piece mean... When you try to create an accompaniment for a hymn but keep playing with parallel fifths (or maybe you're not even aware of this)... Basically you need feedback. Personal and relevant feedback from somebody who was stuck in the past but figured out the way to overcome these challenges. So today for a limited time I'm going to invite you to join my live coaching class where you can ask me the burning questions that you have. Let me help you advance to the next level in organ playing faster.
