Re: Group 1
@Josh Miller This is the right approach! Im liking the speed of the groups - keep pushing on them, play them faster, lighter, softer! And really fun way to practice :) Need to steal that!!

Re: Group 1
@Bernice vonSaleski Definitely getting better! Liking how you are waiting longer on the start notes to give better preparation for the faster notes!

Re: Group 1
@Sam Smith Sounding good so far! I would recommend waiting longer on the start notes and play much faster and lighter in the groups! Really try to drop your fingers into keys very quickly!…

Re: Group 1
@Sachi Nice! you can wait more on the starting note but the speed is there! Liking the crispness. Wait longer on starting note and maybe try to let fingers lightly fly even more :)

Re: Group 1
@Michelle R Good work so far! I like how you work on the groups that you struggle with more - very good to isolate. Wait longer on starting note as though you are about to dive into the notes!…

Re: Group 1
@Bernice vonSaleski I would wait on the starting note longer! To help prepare the sprint of notes to follow. I think that can help you! But it is a great start!

Re: Group 3
@Sedef CANKOCAK Great! This is a great example of how to do grouping practice - you are really getting some speed in those groups and good control over the fingers. This is terrific - keep it up!
