- Any particular area you would like me to focus on?

I would be interested in the technical side most of all. How to practice trills if do not have the skill of fast and long trills. Some seem to have it effortlessly (never had to learn it). They leave me wondering.
-
tips would be great on how to practice rhythm independence between the left-hand 'motor' that needs to stay steady, and the right hand trill, especially in case of a longer trill that starts slower and gets faster. I find my left hand tripping up the rhythm a lot in case the right hand isn't playing at same (or double) speed than the left.

Looking forward to learning historically accurate trill styles across different periods!

Please give tips on Saint Saen concerto no 2 third movement trills! Thanks!

I could sure use help figuring out how in 3rd mvt Beethoven's Waldstein sonata to play the trill (on the g) starting in mm50 and especially where in mm55 the theme descends to the g being trilled. Or maybe, just show us how you play it, if this is in your repertoire. BTW, my hand is just big enough to play the trill 2-1 fingers and the theme with 5, without needing to do gyrations that come from needing to play its 1st note A with 1 - the thumb when 5 is playing the theme an 8ve higher. I find this to be the technical crux of the movement. Thanks for your great classes.

I used to practice on a well-regulated grand piano, but I found I'll have a lot of ghost notes when I play trills on an upright, or I need to use a lot more effort on the upright to have the key fully up and depress again. This results in a lot of finger motions. Do you have any advice on how to trill better on an upright, or a poorly regulated grand piano?
