new talents

So today I attempted to learn the organ. Going through the symbols and how they correlate with music was easy. Trying to keep the song smooth and transition and do foot pedals was nearly impossible, but I got through a song. I'm excited to learn this new instrument and hope that I can be of help to the ward. I've always wanted to learn and just never had the time with working full time and managing a family. Now that I have time during the day I am going to try. You never really appreciate organist until you have tried it. I'm one of three people who are willing to play the piano. I struggle in front of the congregation, but don't mind in small settings. I hope that I can learn enough to play in sacrament meeting. For the time being they get the piano. I'm so glad I love music and make it a priority in my home. I'm grateful for a piano that my grandmother gave me so that I can keep music alive. I've now carted this piano from Utah to Iowa and now to Florida. The wood needs to be sanded and refinished, but the sound is just awesome.
