I'm new to Steem, having been inspired to join listening to the fabulous @organduo podcast.
One of the things I find really hard in a busy life with a full time job, studying part time and having two children is finding consistent time to practice (and enjoy) organ music. To that end I think I need to set myself some kind of accountability challenge by trying to upload a video each week.
At present I'm working through the Oxford Service Music books, and am currently brushing up a Chaccone by Pachelbel. To keep in my hand with practical service playing I'm going to try to learn and play one hymn or chorale tune new to me each week. The goal is to present for you something to listen to - probably not perfect or completely polished but at least I'll be playing!
Once my non-music studies die down I'll try to improve my improvisation and general musicianship too. My end goal is to prove to myself that despite not having an organ teacher for more than 20 years now I can improve and produce a sound that people want to listen to (rather than being forced by being in the room whilst I'm playing).
Let me know what you think to my plan - I'd love to hear your comments!
I'm also very new to Steem, so any advice on using this platform well would be welcome too!
