Re: Study Group #1: Chopin's Prelude in E minor
I’m confused about the Zoom today & the live event today on the piece. They’re at the same time. Is this 2 separate events to choose between or 1 event?

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
No matter how much I practice this Gershwin Prelude, I still struggle to get it right, especially when I hit the Record button. The LH sprawly chords are going to have to stay shrunken.…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@maijahildur I really like this piece and your tempo and fluidity. My Chinese name translates to "birch tree" (flower character with wood radical), so I certainly must add it to my bucket too.
