SOPP772: Does Practicing on a Smaller Pedalboard Ruin Technique for Standard Pedaling

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast No. 772! Today's question was sent by Jerome and he writes:

Hi Vidas,

I’m an ardent listener of your podcast and a youtube channel.I have a quick question as it relates to pedal boards and practice. My church has the Rogers organ with the standard 32 pedalboard. However at home I have a smaller 25 note midi pedal board. I’m unable to practice at church consistently, because of work and distance .

The question is does practicing on a smaller pedal board ruin technique for standard pedaling. I’m new to the organ and have only been playing a year, but I’m a pianist before playing organ.Thanks for any feedback you might give, I can look forward to a podcast if you address this issue.

Thanks
