The Total Organist program is structured in levels and can provide tailored courses for various skill improvements, including area-focused learning and personal accountability through community support.
SOPP727: Is this an embarrassingly slow tempo for BWV 624?
Q: What should Gene do regarding the tempo?
Focus on a comfortable tempo that allows for good articulation and understanding, gradually increasing speed once comfortable.
SOPP726: Do you think that radiating pedal boards suit heel-and-toe technique better?
Q: Do you think that radiating pedalboards suit heel-and-toe technique better?
Yes, radiating pedalboard suits heel and toe technique better, but in Baroque music, it doesn't matter what kind of pedalboard is used, I still utilize toe technique.
SOPP728: Prolific Composer James Michael Stevens: "Try to Go Slow But Never Stop"
Q: How do you choose the character of the pieces you create?
He mixes up styles, sometimes imagining himself in a cathedral, and pretends to have skills he might not possess to create bold and lyrical compositions.
