Not the dreaded pedals! – that’s the cry of many pianists who come to playing the organ later in life as well as organists who are just starting out. To give them confidence we have put together this collection of 100 pieces with Grade 4-6 in the keyboard but only basic pedal movements: sometimes there is just one note to play and never more than about six.
So surprise your congregation and friends when they hear those lovely bass notes singing out!
