SOPP625: I live in Spain and here there are few organ teachers

This question was sent by Luis Garcia, and he writes,


Dear friends: I live in Spain and here there are few organ teachers.  Pedal Technique is a mystery here.  I need to learn how to play pedals without looking at the pedalboard and with a mind strategy.  Some teachers recommend to slide the foot counting the intervals. I think that it may well be in some times but not all the time.  Others recommend memorizing the gaps in the pedalboard.  And the worst teachers don't recommend anything. Even it is very difficult to see organists with organ shoes.  Spain is a bad country to learn how to play the pipe organ.

Remember that I am interested in a romantic technique.  I know that you like Baroque music.

Please, try to help me.  Thank you.
Luis García
