Hi and greetings from Abbotsford BC. Canada ....
I am 62 and started playing the organ at 60. I DO know music as I play Classical guitar, 5 string electric bass as well have a Gibson 'HowardRoberts' fusion guitar.
Sooo ..... I made a 3 manual Haupwerk console with full 32 note pedals .... Anyway all works great! Use the midi interfaces from Roman Sowa. Very reasonable and they work well.
I have a lot of Clasiscal organ music ... but always struggling to get the right width/spacing of fingers in playing double and triple stops! I can read music well and the synchronisation between hands and pedal is getting pretty good. BUT... I can't wait to just be able to 'pick a piece' and play it without going over it many times, left hand, then right hand then each of these individually with 'pedals'..Then finally putting it all together ....
Is this still the best way to practise??
I also use Flor Pieters old booklet ... but it is pretty dated. Futher I know chords well so often I 'jot down' the name of the chords over the stacked notes on the staves.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions regarding ... "best method " to learn.
I also read many of your posts and find it very interesting.
