I love the lessons that I have watched so far. I would certainly love to see more!

    I agree. I have really enjoyed (well... painfully enjoyed) the composition sessions so far. I would like some longer sessions (several weeks or an ongoing project) as it always takes me so long to actually accomplish anything.

      Ashley (Ash) Lucero Hey Ashley. "That's so good to hear." - That it always takes me so long to actually accomplish anything? 🙂

      What I struggle with most in composing - that is a good question. Probably one issue is that I have not tried to evaluate what the problems are. Let me think about this and I will get back to you.

      I appreciate the follow up and will try to provide a more complete answer soon.

    • Jack Stewart Hey Jack, I missed your response! And yes, I am glad I am not the only one who feels like they take forever! (cuz i really do!!) 

      Have you come up with any answers as to what you struggle with most? For me I realized it has been the same things that have always plagued me: I need more development in my ideas and less over-thinking. :)

      Ashley (Ash) Lucero Hey Ashley, thanks for the reply.  I have been absorbed in the challenges of recent and trying to resurrect something of a functional repertoire. I can't retain any pieces unless I play them frequently. 

      As to composition, I tried to compose an 'etude' based on Sor Op. 6.11 and Beethoven's Op. 27.2 1st mov. (rather modest models🙄). I generated a lot of mindless noodling but nothing I felt I could use. I continue to make notes on ideas for this etude but I am probably avoiding actually trying to further write anything to avoid further frustration. I think I am also suffering from the 'Harper Lee' syndrome - being hesitant to create something that is less than my first effort (a very relative analogy - in no way equating my first effort with 'To Kill A Mockingbird').

      I think your personal assessment, "I need more development in my ideas and less over-thinking", is certainly applicable for me.
