Re: What is your practice and preparation routine a few days before and the day of the performance?
@Harriet Kaplan You can play the WHOLE thing on ZOOM for me ANYTIME. Or even, every single night! Seriously. I'd be happy to listen every single day! (Just make sure I'm home before you start, LOL).

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece!
@Judy Kuan You're so fortunate that you have a local teacher. Now that we've moved to Orlando, the level of pianistic excellence is a bit...lacking. Even Atlanta was better!…

@Judy Kuan Do you study with Jarred? He's away right now! But, my TB buddies always give me great advice, so I don't mind. In fact, we sometimes just Zoom each other to play passages that are a…
