Re: Marc's Piano Diary @Michelle R Thank you! It is true…it was very difficult to keep a straight face when filming that one. And sounds like Thurmond’s piano teacher must have gotten a treat on April 1! Haha.

Re: What would you like improved on tonebase? It would be cool if 2-week intensives could start on Fridays or Saturdays. That way, we could have the weekend to do the assignment and then submit it early/mid-week so we can get feedback.…

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece! Neat! I'm on a Scriabin kick these days, so I'll do a prelude I haven't touched before: Op. 16 No. 1. I look forward to seeing everyone's work. And, it's cool to see Dominic making a submission too!
