@Peter Golemme Natalie lives in Malaysia, so I'm pretty sure they benefit from at least one extra hour per day over there...because ANY time on log into Tonic, Natalie is practicing.

@Peter Golemme My amazing friend, @Natalie Peh posted the G major in Juan Carlos' Bach Stage last year. Natalie practices 25 hours/day out of 24 so she sounds beautiful!

Re: Week 1: Voicing, Texture in Schumann's Music
Good afternoon, TB Schumann team! I'm going to start with the final piece in the Kinderszenen set, The Poet Speaks. Once I get the feel for this TWI, I'll add a few more movements.
