🎹 Chopin Month – Practice Challenge

Starting September 15th, we’re diving deep into Chopin’s music together! Each week, you’ll have guided prompts, assignments, and opportunities to share your progress.


Week 1 (Sept 15–21): Choose Your Piece

Pick a Chopin work you’d like to focus on this month! Share your choice in the forum and tell us what drew you to it.


Week 2 (Sept 22–28): Applying Harmony & Form to Interpretation (Part 1)

With Eloise Kim
We’ll begin by analyzing your chosen piece through the lens of harmony and form. Eloise will provide a guided assignment to help you uncover the structural and expressive elements that shape Chopin’s music.


Week 3 (Sept 29–Oct 5): Applying Harmony & Form to Interpretation (Part 2)

With Eloise Kim
Now it’s time to connect your analysis to performance! Eloise will share performance-focused tips and another guided assignment to help you translate your discoveries into expressive playing.


Week 4 (Oct 6–12): Final Performance Video

Put it all together! Submit a final video of your chosen piece and share your journey. Celebrate your progress and reflect on how your interpretation has grown throughout the month.


🎉 Grand Finale Watch Party

    OK, I'm going to bite off more than I can chew!  I'm starting 10/1 because I REALLY need to learn more Chopin Etudes.  Can't play it up to speed in only 3 weeks, but I'll do as much as I can.

    I'm working on Op 9/1 and Op 72. I'll select one of them for the challenge.
