Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #693! Every hour you put into organization is going to have tremendous benefits and increase the availability and respect for what you’ve done. One chapter a day seems to be good to remind me of what I used to know. I also got a copy of the New Oxford Organ Method which I find delightful.
I get pretty tired by mid afternoon, so I save the evening for watching YouTube videos from your site. I spend about 30 minutes split between Hanon and the Davis textbook pedal exercises to get my dexterity back, and then I look through this repertoire list and pick some things that I’m interested in moving up on the current status list. It’s been very helpful to keep my focus to resurrect all of the things I’ve learned already well while still branching into some new material. I put all this information into a spreadsheet to help me understand my priorities and the current state of each of the pieces I was working on. I even found pieces that clearly I had played because my handwriting is all over the paper, yet I could not remember anything about the piece. I took several days to go through all the music in the boxes to try to remember what I had learned already. One thing that has helped me is that I put together the attached spreadsheet. My technique has really slipped a good bit, most of my repertoire is rusty, and if I’m not careful I can get pretty discouraged.

Now that I’m retired I’m trying to make the magic happen again, and it’s been challenging to figure out how to put the pieces back together. As I mentioned in my prior email I have a masters degree in organ performance from many years ago, and then let it lapse for several decades. You asked me to get back to you about what I’m practicing, and I had to wait a few days to figure out how to explain this.
