This question was sent by Susanna, and she writes:
“Vidas,
Currently my goal is to become a reasonably competent and confident organ player in the small local church and the local church community.
I like your idea of a “course” - a guide to how/ what to study to achieve this - I don’t want to take exams - but with an exam course there is a syllabus to follow.
Currently incorporating the pedals into my hymn playing and getting more confident with this seems a place to concentrate on.
Lack of self belief holds me back.
I am in my mid 60s- structured learning seems to be directed at young people.
I have no musical background - learning about basic harmony seems quite inaccessible. I have tried some book learning related to music theory but I am not sure if I am on the right track.
My sight reading skills are ok - but not memorizing - and I would like to have “Happy Birthday” and “God Save the King” at my fingertips - I think this is a skill a church organist might have.
Best wishes
Susanna”
