Have you ever wanted to start to practice on the organ but found yourself sidetracked after a few days? Apparently your inner motivation wasn't enough.
I know how you feel. I also was stuck many times. What helped me was to find some external motivation as well.
In order for you to advance your organ playing skills and help you motivate to practice, my wife Ausra - @laputis and I invite you to join in a contest to submit your organ music and win some Steem.
Are you an experienced organist? You can participate easily. Are you a beginner? No problem. This contest is open to every organ music loving Steemian.

I mixed up the announcement a bit, sorry for that. I started first saying that it is my entry for the openmic contest. After that i stated the wrong weeknumer. I only heard that when uploading the video. I do say the correct contest entry word, so I hope it is still a valid entry.
No problem! Thank you!
