Re: 🧗 The piece just out of reach

Re: 🎨 From correct to musical
For me, I need to memorize a piece. I do conceive of a musical interpretation as I learn it, and that comes to life more when I can be 100% involved with it and not looking at the notes.

Re: 🛠️ The practice tool no one taught you
I warm up with the same routine every day. First, just simple arpeggios for the right hand, no left hand. And then when they feel fluid and loose I play a renaissance lute piece, Go From My Window,…

Re: "Beginners Forum" Invitation
@Eric Phillips I had a hernandis back in those days too. Loved it. I loaned it for a brief period to a good friend in the 90s and haven't seen it since.
