Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Marc M Great job with phrasing, mics and memory! Do you memorize each hand separately? And no more pink socks, LOL! (PS: Do you have a Garmin watch?)

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Michelle R I love your little rubato in the first one. You have the light, playful touch that serves the piece perfectly. And also a great feeling for the gigue.…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Andrea LeVan Aw, thanks! I just really like this piece. I never knew about it until my Tonebase buddies suggested it. Now, all of a sudden, I am REALLY into Debussy, so I picked another one, too.

Re: The 4 components to SECURE memorization (with Dominic Cheli) @Andrea LeVan What great comments! I think you're right about looking at the music too much. I just don't trust myself to at least have it on the music stand...even if I barely look at it.…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Marc M OMG, that Lugansky performance is actually scary! I'd hate to be in a room with that guy if he were in a bad mood...

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Marc M Thanks a million! I’ll check those out right this minute and pick one (or both). It’s sort of embarrassing that I’m still lagging in my background knowledge of basic repertoire…but ask me…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Vidhya Bashyam Thanks! (but, I'm pretty sure there are some wrong notes here and there). Now, I need to pick some additional preludes to make a little set. Any ideas? You are my repertoire guru!

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Dominic Cheli You totally nail the tenor of this piece. Lugansky's entire interpretation is pretty brusque so it makes sense that he'd end with a more "martellato" feeling.…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! @Miyoung Choi I love how you keep the lines flowing and build your dynamics while still keeping a calm, graceful feel. Your tempo - and trills - breathe beautifully.…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check! Hi Guys! I'm a week behind since I wasn't home at the beginning of the challenge. Still have to work on memory, dynamics, wrong notes, etc. but I'm starting to get the feel for it.…

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I love learning solo repertoire now here at Tonebase.

I'm so excited to meet other pianists from all around the globe.
