rebecca LAM 

Here we are.

Kerstin thanks so much 🙏

rebecca LAM actually at the time I didn’t add much fingering to the bars, but changed some suggestions according better to my right hand 

Claudio Carrani thanks!

Michael Palmer 

Hi Michael! Nice to hear from you. Before I bought a tripod for my handy, I used a chair with books on it. Have a nice weekend. 🌼

rebecca LAM just lower the quality of the video. I had the same problem and solved it this way

Claudio Carrani Thank you I was having some problems as well so I went through Vimeo, which was a bit cumbersome.

rebecca LAM Hi Rebecca, Sounds great. As far as recording nerves, it took me a few takes as well. Overall sounds good. Not used to critiquing others playing. What I hear is a little bit of tempo changes happening. what I would suggest is to slow the piece down, even it is ridiculously slow. This is what helps me to really get a feel for the piece. See if this helps. My own experience is if I go too fast too soon, then the tension creeps in too easily. Hope this helps

rebecca LAM hi Rebecca! Just as Gary, I’m not used to critique or criticize other people, but I think we gotta consider each other as long-standing friends to enhance our performances and let our little group work better.

First thing first, the sound you produce is wonderful! :-)

Were I you, I’d set a slower tempo, in order to be more relaxed and take your time to develop your self-confidence.

Keep on playing Rebecca!👍🎉

Gary Hamer thanks for the feedback. I will work on steadying the tempo. 

Claudio Carrani I really appreciate you all taking your time to listen and give me feedback. As I mentioned before, I don't have a teacher and any feedback is super helpful. It helps me focus on what to work on. I found this music community to be very supportive of each other. I want to learn from everyone as much as I can. I wish we can expand beyond this intensive and perhaps exchange feedbacks on pieces we are working on. 

Angela hi Angela, nice 2 meet u! It’s not easy to understand it from your recording point of view, but it seems like your left hand wrist is a little too low… this could make the passages 1-3, 1-4, 3-1 and 4-1 more difficult.

I would also try to play all the grouped notes at the same tempo: this way you’ll build your way up to play the whole scale with no hiccups! 
Happy practising! 🙂

Claudio Carrani Thanks!  I noticed that too in a video I recorded with Alberti bass ... my left hand looked really awkward and low.  Not sure if its always been like that, but I got a new bench recently, so I just adjusted it up some more today to see if that's an issue.  And I tried a slower, more consistent tempo hands together with this scale exercise and it seemed much better!
