@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…

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece!
@Alexander Weymann I'm going to go with "Minstrels" as a first one. Since it is so short, I'll probably add one or both of the other ones you recommend. Thank you for helping me pick a piece!
