When I started organ lessons a year ago, I think there may have been something said about organ shoes….well, yes they do exist! They are leather soled so they slide easily over the pedals and a 4cm heel. In order to help me with pedal playing, I think I need them, so the rebel girl in me has ordered soft gold. So, when I play in a church service, will I quickly change my shoes into black afterwards when I’m back with the choir or might I risk the gold?!
