Re: Week 1 Assignment
@Michelle R the notation is a little confusing but I understand it :) nice work! I think the elegance of starting on the note above does make a lot of sense stylistically for this piece.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Peter Golemme Hi! Very nice video... so fancy with the multiple camera angles! One thing I would suggest focusing on is your thumb motion. It was not really talked about in this intensive,…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Peter Golemme Hi! Very nice work. I do think that, since this is the subject, it would be important and necessary to play the ornament the same way each time.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Marc M I think your balance is actually on the right track! I think the slowness/awkwardness comes from sticking in the same place during the trill. The end RH trill...…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Victoria Macdonald m.5 is much better! For m. 11, you are starting in the right place but can add in a little in/out motion during in order to not feel cramped.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Dora Burak You are on the right track! The goal is to work from the outside in with mapping your motion. You will have to start from a certain place (based on what came before) and you will have to…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Michele nice work! there is a difference, just a subtle one. So, on all videos, the main issue is that we are trying to still control the non-trilling fingers,…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Peter Golemme you have your YouTube video listed as 'private' at the moment... that means no one except for you can view it :) To enable me to watch it, you need to change it to "unlisted.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Javier In this instance, I would say that the thing giving you the most bad habit is actually the metronome! The metronome is helpful to understand concepts or test things but when we just turn in…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Kimy the in/out movement exists on everything. The thing you are focusing on in the SIZE of the movement. Yes, doing a large movement in/out can only feasibly be accomplished on a slow piece.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Kimy the short trill sounds on the right track! You are CORRECT that the 1-3 fingering on the long trill was more successful/in control easier. When using the other fingering,…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Victoria Macdonald nice work! The most obvious technical starting point we would want to address is the attempted "isolation" of your trilling fingers.…

Re: Week 1 Assignment
@DrBruceHoag that "challenge" is precisely the point.... often, we just let our fingers go and don't realize that our ears turn off or that our fingers do something slightly different each time.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Andrea LeVan nice work! I will try and break this into the three separate trills. 1. on the first trill, notice that you kind of stay in exactly the same place on the keys that you start in.…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Dora Burak Nice work! The one big thing that we need to modify is that we don't want to every curl any fingers or try to get fingers "out of the way." The rest of your hand that is not playing…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Adena nice work! I think there are two things you can try and apply here. 1. I know you suggested trying the 3 trills per note last week. The one issue with this is that it can be hard in your stage…

Re: Week 1 Assignment
@Zachary nice work so far! The part you are highlighting would probably be read most commonly as a mordent instead of a trill, meaning you would just play the F#-G-F# and that's it!…

Re: Week 1 Assignment
@Kimy You should think of the primary tune as the tune that exists if the ornament is taken away... so here it would be G-G-(f# g)- D-E I think your idea for starting on the A is also fine but does…

Re: Week 1 Assignment
@Dora Burak I think your musical ideas are very nice! There are a couple things that don't quite work notationally. It is not really common to have a long note at the beginning of a trill.…
