Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @joosje Great work, Joosje! Very courageous of you, jumping in at number 7. It sounds really good and both hands look comfortable and controlled. I would be at a loss about how to prevent nail noise…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @Martin Thank you so much for working out that solution, and attaching a copy of it for me! I really appreciate that. I will check out these fingering next practice session. BTW, my favorite is #9.…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! Study 5 update I had a chance to work on this for about 45 minutes today, so here is an update. I feel better about the B section (measures 14-28). I thought I had improved measures 36-38 as well,…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @Brett Gilbert Thanks Brett, but I don't intend to do them all, as a few are clearly beyond my technical level. And yes, these fingerings! They tie my hand up in knots!

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @Elizabeth Uyehara That's a perfect goal! You can do the syncopated part I'm sure, just slow it way down at first. The notes are pretty easy, it's just getting used to the syncopation in the thumb.…

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @Martin I'd love to be there, but I will be teaching a class myself at that time. Like I said though, if Tonebase could just pay me to participate in these things, I could quit my teaching job!

Re: WEEK 1: Dóbroje útro (Good Morning)! @Brett Gilbert Awesome, Brett! #10 is pretty amazing, but I doubt I have the chops for it. Musically, I think #9 is so gorgeous. It sounds like it might be doable for me,…
