       Beautiful playing, great dynamic control. I wasn't familiar with the piece, very intriguing. Thanks you for sharing!

    The Little Shepherd

    Here is my week 4 progress, with some very noticeable flubs.  It certainly needs continued work but getting this far in really only three weeks is an accomplishment for me.

       here is slightly better version.  Still some flubs and not any more smooth yet.  I deleted the original.

       You're off to a great start. Keep working on one section at a time. For example, the beginning phrase is repeated, so once you feel comfortable with that, you'll be comfortable when it pops up again. I look forward to hearing how it progresses,.

       Thank you!  I couldn't agree more with what you say about these challenges.  I have only participated in two so far and definitely feel the benefits, in technical improvement as well as motivation.  Thank you  for that.

    Hi everyone. This is my progress of Clair de Lune. I have learned more of Debussy’s life, thanks to Dominic.
    I’m not over with Clair de Lune, yet I’m glad  memorization is making progress.

       Wow, wish I could play with such tenderness and confidence. And double-wow on that gorgeous Grotian-Steinweg piano!

      Thank you:)  Yes, I`m very fond of the Grotrian-Steinweg piano, it is sad that the fabric had closed down early this year.
