User Friendly Techniques for the Church Hymnal

1. Right or left hand: use a light staccato touch during quick or awkward note passages to relieve
hand tension. (This works great during alot of rapid left hand octave movement).


2. Omit pedal during the above described situation to produce a clear, energized tone!
Excessive pedaling produces a cloudy tone.


3. Right hand: omit alto notes during fast or awkward melody notes to avoid dragging the tempo.
