Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@Alherne cupido PLEASE play in one of the monthly recitals, or simply post in the challenges! ANY level is wonderful, we're ALL just learning. If this were my day job, I'd practice more, LOL.

@Nina BR I'm doing Bach P&F Book 1, D major for Vanessa Latarche from the Royal Academy of Music. I'm not feeling very confident, though. How about you?

@Nadja I can't wait to hear it. Maybe the "pending" problem will clear by this evening?

Re: Practicing on Electric Pianos YouTube Video!
@Andrew Smith Yes, I got a nice Casio Privia PX-S1100 to take in my car to play for weddings and charity events. It was super affordable and light enough for me to cart around without any help!…
