Using the Expression Pedal - Electronic Organ.WMV

A vintage clip taken from Peter Hayward's 1991 VHS video - 'Music in View' - tuition series for electronic organ, in which he explains how to use the expression pedal and what 'clues' to look for to tell you WHEN to get louder or softer, as you arrange your music.
Expression will always be a most important part of any musical performance, so hope you find some of these ideas interesting and helpful. Here's wishing you - Happy Music!!

You sure have a special way of teaching. Thank you for putting up these video's (and listening to requests too). Have a nice christmas and new year :)

Are all these lesson books still available? While I can play the organ well enough, I just forgot many techniques and some I was never thaught as I didn't yet have the skills back then; and I switched to keyboard before I reached specific organ techniques. Now I want to learn them as I am finally back on the organ....

@SilverHammond Thanks for watching my tuition videos, and for your kind comments which are always appreciated. I love teaching, and taking away some of the 'mystery' of music.

Although the original booklets (which came with the videos) are no longer available, I do still have several tuition books ('Play Better' series) available worldwide from friends in the UK who trade as 'The Music People'.

Here's wishing you a very happy and musical New Year, from Sweden - Peter :)

Ah, so that's a legitimate source for those books. I had found them already; will look into it next year :P
