Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps!
@Gail Starr I am only able to practice 10 minutes at a time to avoid injuries on my hands. But I do think it's a good stretch for small hands.

Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps!
I just started reading waltz and arietta today. Arietta seems more challenging for my small hands.

@Dominic Cheli Thank you! I've been doing the sight reading exercise book you suggested, and enjoyed them. They get challenging pretty quickly (starting at 38ish).

Re: Take your first steps into "The School of Virtuosity" with Sara Davis Buechner
I enjoyed watching this wonderful teaching, and downloaded these books. Question: Are these exercises appropriate for late beginners/early intermediate levels?…

I completely underestimated the difficulty of BWV999. I'm not ready to record a decent video for this party watch. I'll keep working on it, and hope it will be ready for the next challenge or…

@Kerstin I can only focus 15-20 minutes at a time, and have to take breaks. In total probably around 2hours a day for all piano practice. But I'm still a beginner so a lot to learn.

@Amy Your piano has beautiful tones. What kind is it? I find Schumann music very hard/tricky to play, only played a few in the album for the young. Looking forward to see your final video!

@Priya Viseskul I like Tatiana's interpretation for the Bach little preludes! Especially BWV999 which she plays slowly a very different approach vs most other pianists.

@Gillian This is such a beautiful piece. Thanks for introducing this one. I assume Rachmaninov didn't compose anything for beginner :).
