Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps! @Marc M Please post a nice & slow practice video. The LH jumps in these pieces are challenging! I won't be able to get mine up to speed in time, either. Or maybe never, LOL?

Re: What kind of Piano do you play? @Elena_Ms I used my P45. When I lived in NYC…my apartment was so tiny I kept it in the entryway…which was a bit of a problem because I had to move it to hang up my coat every evening.

Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps! Here's my first practice video of the "March of the Dwarfs". It's really a fun piece but I clearly need to spend more time on it.

Re: What kind of Piano do you play? @Jenny Harrison Good point, Jenny! My old felts had been needled so many times, we couldn't improve them any longer. So, I replaced everything!

Re: What kind of Piano do you play? @Carol Chua I replaced all the felts and had MANY other things done to my family's 1945 Steinway. Despite the large investment, I was never truly happy with the results. I eventually sold that piano.

Re: Tell us about your favorite memory performing for an audience (of 1 or more people!) @Vidhya Bashyam It was only because the piano part was kind of tough. If I'm doing nothing important, like just walking around and even stub my toe...BOY, I would totally notice. LOL!

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.
