Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Sindre Skarelven Thank you. I'd like to say Stella loves the piano, but in reality we have a deal where she gets a little treat whenever I turn a page. Been doing this for years.

@Heng-Pin Chen I love the M&H tone, touch, and dynamics. I've had mine for 5 years now. It is a 1915 AA that was fully restored by Lindenblad in NJ.

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Gail Starr Very nice. Cleanly rendered to my ears. Debussy is someone that I just never could get the right feel for. You know how some composers just fit your hands naturally?

@Judy Kuan That is sounding excellent. Jealous of the speed you are learning and memorizing this. Great work. I hope to lean this one day. (Nice cat cameo at the end as well)
