We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions and questions!

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

I work on Fridays so I will not be able to attend, but I always watch afterwards! I have some questions for you, Hilda:
1) I know you will provide a bio/intro. when you are introduced. I would like to go a level deeper and ask, What do you most love about the piano? Which aspects of its dynamics, etc. speak to you most powerfully? Why? and/or How?
2) When do you feel most alive and vibrant when playing the piano? Presumably the piece you are playing influences that answer. Does the time of day, place, mood also contribute? Other factors?
3) What are your aspirations for the Piano Tonebase Community?
Thank you!

It is so good to meet you, Hilda! I was working when this LiveStream took place so I have the joy of watching it now. Thank you, Dominic for conveying my questions to Hilda. Thank you, Hilda, for your thoughtful, interesting and insightful answers. I, too, am a kinetic learner. Movement brings exhilaration, a sense of renewal and joy. And, as you said, it connects us to the material world.
Chemistry, too! Wow! You have the left and right halves of the brain quite engaged! :D
* Dynamics * "Rhythm is FUN!" You know it! Yes! Yes! Yes! Sheer delight!
Great questions, Dominic! It is truly impressive how musicians - from inside their hearts, minds and souls - take hold of what they have been given, and they bring forth beauty and intrigue. Stories.
Empowerment/Resilience: Hilda, I loved hearing about how you adapted to necessary changes over the years..."learning techniques to create that feeling of aliveness" so you can thrive.
* Hydration *
* Eating well *
* Exercising to stay fit *
* Counterpoint * - Your smiles and cheerfulness as you speak about these various topics is wonderful!

Bach - Counterpoint..."noble, serious, honest, sincere, genuine..." : D

Thank you, again, Hilda! Thank you, Dominic!
