@Michelle R You are TOTALLY getting the hang of this! I love the idea of singing along. (i'd try that, but my piano is next to my husband's office and I'd scare him if I try to sing...LOL)

@Emma Wallace A few of us Tonebase friends on the East Coast are going to hear Chris O'Riley play Book 1 at the Kennedy Center in November. If you are in the area, we'd love for you to join us.

Re: Group 2
@Michelle R You can always break down ANY piece into bits that DO work for you. Just try the right hand, for example, really slowly! Or just listen to the videos and follow along.

Re: A Performer's Guide to Bach's Dance Suites (with Magdalena Stern-Baczewska)
@Roy James-Pike Please share video of your preparation for your dance test. We know you'll pass with flying colors. I think that Chopin waltz is a good choice because it is very simple and steady.

@Alexander Weymann On the inside I bet you are actually a combination of an Italian 5 star chef and an indie rocker, 😂. Post the description anyway! 😊
