Re: Group 3 I am still not doing the recording properly. At least, I hope I'm not doing it correctly, because the sound is not good. I may need a proper camera and mic vs. my Galaxy S9536478900123 phone.…

Re: Interactive Practice Room: Mindful Warmup @Martin Thank you very much. Sadly, I've missed everything up to this point. Will it be available for viewing from the library or wherever live streams go to rest.

Re: Interactive Masterclass with Emmanuel Sowicz @Olli I cannot find a You Tube that fits the score. There are lots of Fantasia X, but X doesn't match the notes, at least as I see them. Is your version Fantasia III or IV or XI ?
