@maijahildur Thanks so much. I'm following my teacher's suggestions for learning a new piece, and it seems to work well. Yes, recording is really helping me, too.

Re: Week 2: Share your progress
@maijahildur really lovely! This piece is new to me. It has kind of an "earthy" feel to it - great music to listen to while working in the garden!

@Andrea LeVan Thanks so much, Andrea! I'm a super-introvert. People exhaust me! One thing I do (sometimes) is pretend I'm someone else. I know that sounds strange,…
