Re: Group 1 @Adriana López practicing all the voices together in this nocturne is similar to voicing in Schubert: there is a repeating-note accompaniment beneath a wonderful melody,…

Re: Group 3 @Andrea Buckland Multitasking is right! I can hear your soprano playing is becoming rooted in harmony - once you have RH connected to LH, it's easy to organically build phrases.…

Re: Group 3 @Dagmar may I mention that having Joplin on the piano while playing a Chopin piece that uses stride piano LH is a nice touch! Your Chopin playing has improved in this TWI, great work.…

Re: Group 3 @Tammy you improved timing and tone colour significantly. Bass line is clearer and more resonant. Keep using bass tone colour in second phrase (0:20-35),…

Re: Group 3 @Angela Fogg better late than never! Your choral sound is great and it's clear your practice was solid in both hands. Since it's the last day of the TWI I'll give a couple of future thoughts for…

Re: Group 1 Group 1: we won't have a Zoom debrief after this TWI, so I'd like to ask you: how do you see your development in the last two weeks? Here are some prompts to get you started: 1) In one sentence,…

Re: Group 3 @Dagmar you are not overthinking it and your work is right on point. I especially find your harmonic analysis of m. 13 as the climax an appealing interpretation,…

Re: Group 3 @Gail Starr if this is what you designate kindergarten you have nothing to worry about. The basic way to handle Harmonic/Roman Numeral analysis is to list all the chords as triads on the top of the…

Re: Group 3 @Juan Carlos Olite glad to see you're more aware of structure, breathing, and harmony - it's also helpful for your melody timing and structure. You're articulating cadences through the voice,…

Re: Group 4 @Priya Viseskul You are right - singing guides shape, depth, and intensity of the bass. In your video of hands together + singing bass your voice sustains, rises,…

Re: Group 3 @Dagmar yes you're right - you are listening carefully and identified the purpose of this assignment. I suggest using more breath support to help the bass lyricism emerge:…

Re: Group 4 @Eliza Davis great question. LH in a mazurka isn’t always softer than RH, it’s a delicate nuance in LH between beats 2 and 3 that has to be heard, without sufficient sound in tenor the music is…

Re: Group 4 @Eliza Davis good - I see the notes in m3-4 are fine! Have a listen to your recording and check mm3-4, you sing A-B flat instead of C-D in soprano!

Re: Group 1 @Adriana López Most of your singing I cannot hear, but the notes I do hear are in the middle range of the harmony? Try singing only bass notes - this will help your phrasing and security in the…

Re: Group 1 @Kerstin good work - this is tender and has better lilt than your previous post. I would still say the F-sharp in phrase 2 is a beginning and to give more time to the C-sharp at the end of m. 8.…

Re: Group 4 @Letizia only comment is to approach some chords like m. 55-56 as applied dominants, when bass motion indicates a cadence (B-flat to E-flat = V7 of ii, labelled V7 ---> ii or V7/ii).…

Re: Group 3 @Vidhya Bashyam good placement of first Re, correctly "found" the Sol - work on placement in your voice or perhaps move it up the octave if easier. It's important to feel the bass solidly in the…
