I think everyone is doing fantastic! Gail Starr Gail - one that you are doing I have I read though- just lovely! I actually read through a few prhers with every intention of finishing one - but my studio is having their recitals on Saturday. Also growing an instagram - never thought I’d ever do that!
Hopefully I can record onr before the two-week intensive is up! Just been focused on my students. They all sound great! Keep it up!

I have enjoyed watching everybody's videos. I look forward to the day that I can sight read like you all! I am focusing right now on trying to keep a solid tempo, even through mistakes. I know the piece cold, but when I turn on the camera I get all fidgety. Needs a word for that. Pifuffled is the pretend word that comes to mind.

Josh Miller Pituffled should be our new adjective for ALL our videos. Love it! (Actually, I get a bit pituffled on the highway in bad traffic, also!)
