Re: Getting Started @Michelle R Fantastic! I'm so glad you're pleased with your progress because you should be. Bach is always a mental workout because it requires a lot of independence between the two hands.…

Re: Group 4 @Leann Osterkamp thank you for the tips! I like the idea of playing shorter bits, even if we are playing together. Maybe taking a phrase, then pause to regroup, then another phrase.…

Re: Group 4 My scenario is sight reading through pieces with a friend of mine who lives out of town, is an experienced pianist and vocalist, but is very rusty and a little shy about her playing.…

Re: Group 4 This was so great! I like how you made up a specific scenario. Watching you cut things was very freeing for me. Part of the reason I'm working on my sight reading is I'd like to start playing duets.…

Re: LDS Hymn # 169 - Experimenting with on-camera recording How fantastic that you have that technical knowledge! I like the addition of the strings, and I really liked your variation. I get locked in on the notes--hoping to break out of that at some point!…

Leah's Practice Diary (updated 2/1/23)

Re: Group 4 Thank you to @Jenny for suggesting Burgmuller. I picked "Le Courant Limpide" because my sight reading skills are low, but it also looked like a pretty piece and I liked the title.…

Re: Group 4 @Jenny I saw your early comment that you were thinking about Burgmuller, and thought that was a great idea. I might do the same. They're very well written, and representative of that time period.

Re: Shoshana's Practice Diary - Back to the Beginning @Shoshana Kalson That's exactly what I was thinking--it's a limitation of the piece, not your playing. My teacher has me finger pedal a bit on the pinky and think of the other three notes as a wash…

Re: Schubert - Piano Sonata in A major, D.664 @Michael This was wonderful. Now I'm sad that I didn't see the community concert. I thought you captured a variety of different moods, which is one of my favorite things about Schubert--from dramatic…

Re: Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 1. Movement Very well done. I'm working on this piece right now. I really like how you shaped the left hand in the second video. I agree--I find tempo to be really open to interpretation on this piece.…
