Pipe organ lessons

Having been away from the pipe organ keyboard for well over 15 years, I am finding it very hard to feel at all confident when playing. My patient teacher, Carol, has accepted this and is helping me work through my difficulty. While I have an old, small, electronic organ at home, it is a world of difference to play on a large organ that fills the space. I need to find a good place to practice. I have been able to attend a wedding and a funeral to watch Carol play. These observations are valuable in my personal renewal of skills. My main challenge now is getting practice time in with being gone on site visits so much of the time. After one unsuccessful visit and phone call, I have now located a pipe organ for at least one practice session.
