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: Group 2
@Steve Pederson Thanks Steve. My challenge is to stay relaxed at greater speeds. You are right that the thumb is key. I like Martin’s idea of just letting it fall.…

@Barney Yes. I bought it at the Ramirez shop in Madrid in 1969. It’s a 1A crafted by M T (Mariano Tezanos Castro).

A lovely performance, Rick. I’m so sorry you have pain in your fingers. I guess we need to discipline ourselves not to overwork them. I have enjoyed your playing over the years with Artistworks as…

@Barney Thanks Barney! I played the guitar version first, but I was curious to try out the piano version as well. 4 fingers versus 10. 6 strings vs. 88 keys.…

@Wai I thought it would be an interesting project. I thought I would take the performer out of the equation. However, I find the instruments really define my experience performing them.…

@Jack Stewart Thanks Jack! I agree that the guitar sounds more intimate. I love the D tuning and lower pitch of the beginning. I am a member of both Tonebase piano and guitar.…

Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! 🌈
@Wai That was lovely! I’m working on the piano version, which is hard enough even with 10 available fingers. I think it would be unplayable on the guitar beyond the first 20 measures.…
