I have had three organ lessons so far (using the Gleason method) and am frustrated that my fingers will NOT do what they're supposed to. I'm on the early exercises and having trouble getting legato with some digits and half-value notes with others. How is this supposed to work? I spent nearly 1-1/2 hours trying to get my fingers to do what my brain clearly saw. I keep lifting the wrong fingers especially when both hands are put together.
Is this normal and to be expected? Does a mental block like this typically pass (and if so how quickly) or will I likely have trouble for quite awhile? I have no delusions about becoming a really good organist but I'd like to get reasonably proficient.
