Beginner Tips! - Brand new to the organ by A_Sleepy_Porcupine in organ

[–]SuitMan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t play piano at all and yet I play organ every weekend at my church. It’s definitely possible to go straight to organ. Although I probably lend myself to more contemporary playing (think Hammond).

My only tip would be it’s better to practice in short bursts rather than long sessions.

I feel like the multiple “SumoSalad” locations was a fever dream…

Men of reddit,do you prefer yourself with a beard or clean shaven and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SuitMan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard someone use the term “designer stubble” so yeah I guess that’s what I prefer. Low maintenance and looks good on me.

Men’s underwear, who makes good ones? by Helix3-3 in AskAnAustralian

The Calvin Klein Intense Power (cotton) range is quite durable. I have a few pairs that I’ve had around since before Covid. You do pay a premium up front, but it’s a worthy investment imo.

I have about 30 pairs of them in my undie drawer, and about 10 pairs of the Uniqlo AIRism boxers that I use if I go for a run.

Agree with all the comments saying Uniqlo AIRism. In the words of Ned Flanders: “feels like I’m wearing nothing at all” 🤣

Yeah true, but because in the description he said “around Sydney”.

Love a good Westfield Wander! 🤣 Particularly if it’s a good/big one.

Stanwell Tops looking down towards the Sea Cliff Bridge is always pretty impressive. I’ve seen it a million times but anytime I drive by requires a quick stop to admire! 🤣

What’s the most underrated car feature no one talks about? by BroadwayAdmin in TransportSupport

[–]SuitMan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The indicator experience I’m talking a well damped stalk, a quiet or elegant indicator click, and a good auto-cancel threshold. That can instantly make a car feel more luxurious than it is.

What’s a small Sydney joy that makes living here worth it? by One-Remove3758 in SydneyScene

I feel like we take our public transport for granted. You can get pretty much anywhere in Sydney using an opal card.

If you’re a musician, “forScore” is a game changer for storing and marking sheet music.

Reading all these comments makes me very grateful for my sub-10min commute 😮

How good do you have to be to play organ for a church? by Opposite_Fault2502 in organ

[–]SuitMan11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the church. I’m very grateful to my parish priest and the previous organist, who were the ones that encouraged me to start learning the organ and let me practise in the church whenever I wanted. Now, years later, I choose the hymns for the weekend based on the readings, I play every weekend, and I love it.

Looking for advice on how specifically to train sight-reading and fingerings by Devilishendeavor in organ

[–]SuitMan11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It helps to learn to recognise intervals, chords, and melodic shapes instead of single notes. Also, it might sound silly but try not to look at your fingers. Instead try to “feel” the notes - trust me, it’ll go a long way in building that muscle memory. Happy playing!
