it's quite good.. i don't think that she plays organ the last five years or like this.... how long she plays?

if she wants to have more success she should try to improve the diffucult parts....and speed up a bit...

I know that it is not the speed Bach wants to have... or that the tempo is correct all the time...

@06SeAnFe09 Thanks for your comment. At the time this video was taken she had only been playing about 1 1/2 years. She still takes lessons but now is a very busy teenager so she doesn't have quite as much time to practice.

For a 14-yr-old, she is doing very well! Keep it up and stay dedicated! I wish I would have, but after I graduated high school and moved away from home, somehow playing organ, piano, and accordion just kind of went away. I still play occasionally, but not like I should. You go, girl, and don't let those that are being critical on here deter you. I'd like to hear them play it!!

@reborn4ever1 Thanks so much for your encouragement. Yes, on youtube you do get a lot of criticism but I suppose that's just how it goes.

Far too slow and a few wrong notes here and there. Speed it up, and it would be great!

... and if you ever need any 'tips' just email :-)

hannah's mum should be proud. I started the organ at about 12 and became church organist at 14 - that was 43 years ago. Hannah - the organ is THE most wonderful instrument to play, from the tiniest chamber instrument to the large cathedral organs. I know you're a teenager (!), but NEVER give it up. You will always be in demand and will always have the pleasure of playing 'God's own' instrument! God bless you and... Bravo!

Outstanding job. I don't know how anyone could dislike this. Great job!

@reborn4ever1 i play accordion and organ also they are both very fun instruments

I was about her age when I started playing - ignore anyone's negative comments, as she'll sort out the hiccups with practice! She got the notes right, so the tempo will come.

I'm doubly impressed that she had the guts to play this in front of a live audience whilst having it recorded on video!

Hi , Congratulations not to slow the sound to myself is great Regards Terry and Linda

Woah, really cool to hear on the piano! Don't listen to haters! Keep playing! Behind you all the way ;)

Congratulations, you are a fine young organist. I've heard this played in many ways and at many different speeds by much older, and some very highly acclaimed musicians. Do it your way and be proud!

Pretty good, I'm a pianist and i learned this and played it on a church organ. The only big difference is that i've been playing for about 7 years now and the only thing i did with my feet was the low D because i couldn't do shit with my feet. It's not bad or wrong you play it slower. When you go on with playing you will create speed in your fingers and be able to play faster..

@06SeAnFe09 To be able to sit and play a classical piece is very difficult for many people. I, myself, cannot play classical music, yet I CAN play by ear and pick out m any different songs without music. Yes, mistakes happen... You pick up and keep going. This young lady has a bright future if she keeps up the hard work. Congrats to her. :)
