So Grandma asked if I was still taking organ lessons. I guess since I haven't been talking about it, some may assume that I am not. But nope, I am now in year four of my organ lessons project. I am actually starting to see progress. I feel I have come a long way in four years. I really like practicing, but without lessons, my practice time has no focus or direction.
In addition to classical organ, I am also involved with the Dixie State University Jazz Band. I spend a lot of my practice time hooked up to a metronome. The one thing I have learned from playing with the Jazz Band is that I sure wish I had a drummer keeping time for me when I do my classical pieces on the organ.
If thou art merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving. If thou art sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful. D&C 136:28-29
That was fun. I don't know how you find the spare time to play in a jazz band. It's good to have you back in the blogosphere!
