Sample daily update:

  • Theme and first variation. The theme is pretty easy now, although that first variation is much harder than it looks (the unusual figurations). My biggest problem right now is finishing variation one. Hopefully these videos work...

    • Genevieve Good job! Yes, var. 1 is trickier than it looks. Looking forward to see how it progress  :)

    • Sindre Skarelven mariannejhampton Gail Starr Thank you all! I'm working on the second variation now, and it's much easier, so hopefully I'll be able to get through this week's goal of variations 2, 3, and coda.
