Is there a source on the Internet for all of the toe-toe, heel/heel scale patterns? I am playing 15-20 hours per week in preparation for some private lessons in Paris this summer.

I am an accomplished musician, but my pedal technique has become lazy over time. Working it back into shape as I am playing repertoire such as the Guilmant, op. 42 which has very demanding pedal passages.

Thank you for your inspiration!

Dear Vidas,

My name is Ahra Yoo. I am an organist

Could you recommend any appropriate pieces for this organ? I am in trouble to make a program. It will be very helpful any of your advice.

Thanks,

Ahra
