Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
@Blaise Laflamme That's a great performance and a lovely tribute. This led to our boys getting some extra playtime and some of the top-shelf treats in Gizmo's honor.…

Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
@Eric Phillips @Blaise Laflamme @Ron Thanks for the replies on the topic. It's been really interesting to explore this a bit. Thomas Viloteau's videos on practicing have been great, too.

Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
@Eric Phillips @Blaise Laflamme Talking about the musical gestures is really interesting. It's odd that it's very hard to find anything on Tonebase or anywhere else about what top-level performers…

Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
Since Martin mentioned playing what you love, I'm not sure what I'll be presenting, but it will most likely involve the music of Leo Brouwer. Lots of pieces and periods to choose from,…

Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
@Michelle P Since you're a fan of lullabies, you might have seen this already, but I bought this book a year or so ago. It's a set of lullabies commissioned from some pretty big modern composers.…

Re: Week 1: Play Whatever You Love ☀️🎸
@Eric Phillips That's a great piece. Really well played. I've always liked listening to Llobet, but his music all seems deceptively difficult to me. It doesn't sound like it should be all that hard,…

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Jack Stewart I really enjoyed this one, Jack. I like how you fit the ornaments really well into the time. Like Blaise said, it all flows really well. That presto section is a beast,…

Re: AI analysis
@David Krupka It's funny that you said you were asking it questions you already knew the answer to. I was doing the same same thing, having it analyze pieces to see if I could trip it up, lol.…

Re: AI analysis
@David Krupka Yes, that is my main concern too, whether it's generic advice or specific to the performance given. I've been experimenting with some old pieces I recorded,…

Re: AI analysis
@Blaise Laflamme That's fair. But maybe the advice seems more useful to me since I'm still at the level where everything a teacher tells me is going to be basic and generic, lol.

Re: AI analysis
@David Krupka @Michelle Roper While I'm certainly still on the fence about AI in this context, I'm curious why you see it as being sycophantic or strictly a cheerleader.…

Re: 👩‍🏫 A teacher, or on your own?
If I was interested in being more than a hobbyist, I'd be more inclined to work with a teacher on a regular basis. As it is I love exploring new music, techniques, and exercises on my own.…

Re: AI analysis
I have to admit I was very skeptical about the use of AI in this context, but after reading the feedback Jeffrey received, I'm pretty impressed. It's a lot more detailed than I would have expected.…

Re: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to performing at your best, beyond the musical or technical aspects?
@Jacopo Thanks for the reply. I'll have to play a little bit and pay attention to see if I can narrow it down.

Re: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to performing at your best, beyond the musical or technical aspects?
My biggest issue is focus. It's definitely intensified if I'm playing for someone or recording, but even if I'm playing alone, I'll catch my mind drifting and get lost.…

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Debbie Thanks for the lead on Kageyama. I'll definitely check it out. It's an interesting topic because when I play, I have to focus on every note or I'll get lost.…

Re: 📖 What's on your music stand right now?
@Blaise Laflamme I love having everything on a tablet and using different colors for different things, plus it's so easy to change things or have different versions.…
