What lovely and beautiful footwork on the pedalboard!!!. Will it be possible that ,for further videos, wecould see close ups of your feet so we could see your technique? and, as a curiosity- have you ever played barefoot?, is that possible?, what's your opinion on that point?

I always wear suede soled Organ Shoes with built up heels when playing; this enables me to use the heel and toe method of playing a full-pedalboard organ. This is so I can play the bass harmony parts of the music with my feet.  If I play Pop music for fun I might go barefoot, but rarely, I'm too used wearing shoes.

Thanks for inquiring.

I used to wear tap shoes with the cleats removed.........they were perfect. i had to stop playing church organ about 10 years ago due to the arthritis in my fingers. I sure do miss it.

Beautiful job Helen............keep up the good work!

Nice playing but a bit fast.. use the tremulant or slow vibrato....

Thanks for your kind reply to my enquire, I would love to see further videos of your playing especially on close ups of your pedalling technique, maybe some of Bach corales or preludes (but if you also one or two pop numbers, I would not be upset at all, jajajaa), besides, you have quite lovely feet as well
