Re: Group 3
@Jarred Dunn Thank you for listening. This was very much out of my comfort zone, but it is a remarkably useful exercise. Trying to sing is helping me express the kujawiak phrasing and accents I heard…

Re: Group 3
@Dagmar Contact me anytime for fingering ideas! I can barely reach an octave so I need to get a bit “creative” at times.

@Angela Fogg Thank you for the great advice! I decided to skip the solfège syllables since I didn’t have time to learn them right now. But it’s definitely on my bucket list.

@Dagmar https://youtube.com/shorts/1iMYz35wQ9g?si=XJFd3Fr75lDwyBZE I have small hands also, so my quick first take on a possible fingering is here. Since I haven’t studied this piece I might come up…

Re: Group 3
Such an interesting excercise to try to sing the melody of the Mazurka I'm learning. I think I'll continue to try this when I practice...just quietly in my head.

@Lc That was my question....I have a "do", that morphs into "do sharp" and after a lovely swish it is now "do flat"...LOL!

Re: What would you like improved on tonebase?
@Andrea LeVan I was just thinking the same thing…especially when I try to access TB on my phone. It is challenging to find the Forum you want on your phone.

Re: Group 3
@Lc Hey, at least you CAN sing…I was trying to do solfège and my husband actually walked out of his office (which is next to our piano), genuinely concerned, asking me what was wrong with me!😂

Re: Group 3
Good morning, dear piano friends! Since I’m already learning the set of Op. 17 Mazurkas, I’ll use #2 for this TWI (if Harriet can please give me a solfège tutorial?).
