Re: What advice would you give your beginner-self?
Practice more, and more structurally. Don't quit lessons, you will regret it. And please get over your shyness! People will enjoy hearing you play :)

Re: Week 1: Getting down to Business
@Gail Starr Thank you, Gail! I'm in love with op. 59 too! Your Op 59 no 2 is coming together real nicely, and have inspired me to start that one when I'm ready for a new Mazurka :)

Sort of an āall-round pianistā. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.
