Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast

This question was sent by Doug, and he answered my question, What is your goal in organ playing, and what are some challenges that he faces when he tries to reach this goal. So the goal is to become a church organist, and basically advanced in hymn playing. And the challenges are three:

1. Pedal techniques.
2. Taking a hymnal with one line and converting it to swell, great and pedals on the fly.
3. Grand Orgue or Hauptwerk conversion for home organ to practice on.
