Re: Using Zoom to tell your story (Getting the PERFECT Settings!)

@Thurmond R I, too, am quite impressed with Thurmond - but I'm extraordinarily biased...AND I get to hear him play several hours each day. I'm spoiled, hearing live concerts on a daily basis!

Re: Problem Solving Chopin's Etudes with Marina Lomazov!
Marina was wonderful last time! Thurmond is not currently playing a Chopin Etude, though (he just learned a Nocturne). We both have a class in the morning, so will try to tune in once we're done.

Re: Week 1: Status check! (also pick your piece!)
@Gail Starr haha! I never realized how difficult it was to sing and play at the same time, since people who do it make it look so easy! I could probably sing dibby-dibby-do or yabba-dabba-do while…
