I began studying piano as a child and added classical guitar as a young adult. While teaching and raising a family, I always have found time for music in my life. I enjoy the challenge and the connection.

Re: Week 4: Harvest Melodies🍂
Just for fun, and because it's on theme, Roger Williams' arrangement of Autumn Leaves by Joseph Kosma. I've always loved it since I heard Roger Williams play it on Lawrence Welk back in the 50's.…

@Jack Stewart This is a lovely piece Jack, and it’s coming together very well. I find I can phrase more convincingly when I have memorized a piece. That’s difficult for me,…

@Eric Phillips Yes I did. That was fun- although I don’t like how my guitar sounds over zoom, and my guitar and I were squeezed into a small area in front of my husband’s big computer where we had…

Re: Week 4: Harvest Melodies🍂
@Debbie what a lovely piece, and you play it very well! It might be fun to consider more contrast- in dynamics but also tone color. Now we have two more weeks!

Another of my fall favorites: Leo Brouwer's Un Dia de Noviembre. I had a tonebase lesson on this piece with Isaac Bustos that I really enjoyed. Thanks Isaac!

@Barney I hope that works out well for you Barney. When I’ve repaired with powder, it destroys the nail bed underneath, so then I either need to keep repairing it, or wait months for it to grow out.

Re: Week 4: Serenade Showcase
@Dale Needles Thanks for your response. It’s interesting how our life experiences color our music. And certainly the title tells us something about what Carlevaro was thinking.

Re: Week 4: Serenade Showcase
@Dale You play this very well, with clarity and expression. I’m curious—what do you think about as you play this? Does it relate a story line or particular emotions to you?

@Barney Thank you Barney! My thumbnail was hanging on with a dab of glue. As soon as I made this recording it fell off. 🙁
