Learn Something New

Week 7: 10/13/11 I practiced on the piano for 30 min. I still need to develop automaticity (new word I learned in this weeks reading) with my hands so that I can concentrate on the feet. It is much harder than I thought it was going to be. I don't know how organists do it all. My hands are getting better so there is a small ray of hope. I still need to check out some You Tube videos. I'm sure there must be something on it about the stops and the pedals.

10/14/11: I practiced on the piano for 45 minutes today. It's coming along better.

10/16/11: I went to church an hour early and practiced for 45 minutes on the organ. I wasn't practicing this particular piece, but it was good organ practicing and I think it counts for that.

Week 8: 10/19/11: I practiced the piece on the piano for 15 minutes. It is getting better. Now I'm going to look up some You Tube videos. I shoudl see if the library has any organ videos or books as well. I'll do that tomorrow.
