Re: Memorizing
@Natalie Peh I think you are right! I really don't practice enough, like I did when I was a kid. Also, back then I had deadlines for competitions and concerts. Now, I just play for fun!

Re: Ben Laude: Ask Me Anything about Piano Technique!
Hi Ben! How do you manage to keep your repertoire fresh in your memory? I sometimes don’t even remember that I’ve learned a piece until I find the score with lots of my handwriting all over it, LOL!
