Romantic Music Challenge — Kickoff Stream

This stream kicks off the Romantic Music Challenge and sets the tone for the next five weeks!

We’ll talk about what “Romantic” really means in practice—style, sound, phrasing, and intention.

I’ll share practical tips on how to approach Romantic music, what to listen for, and how to work on expression in a simple, sustainable way.

We’ll also cover how to choose a piece for the challenge, including what makes a good fit, how short excerpts can be powerful, and why easier music is often the best place to explore color and depth.

If you’re curious about the challenge, unsure what to pick, or just want a clear, relaxed starting point, this stream will give you everything you need to begin!
