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?

@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. 😂
