About
Like many piano teachers, over the years my own piano playing has taken a back seat to teaching and all the administrative work that goes along with running a music studio. This year I’ve decided to change that. I am making a commitment to record and upload one piece each week. By setting these weekly deadlines, I'm hoping to overcome my tendency towards procrastination and perfectionism.
I'm calling it the "Go Play Project 2012." Anyone care to join me?
@Dimi Gineva: Thank you Dimi..
@Lyod: Thank you so much! I'm having fun with this project!

@cis minor: Isn't this a great piece? I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get it out of my head. Had to play it!
@cis minor: Oh I just saw this! Thank you for posting this poem...I hadn't heard of it before. So appropriate....
@Cross-Eyed Pianist: Thanks Fran. I really want to redo that one...but I'm forging onward. Will definitely revisit the whole sonata soon.. I'd love to get it at performance level....
Lovely, Mira!
@cis minor: Thank you! And thank you for asking... just sent it in.......
@cis minor: Yes. Do play it. I used to really dislike it, but now the more I play it the more I discover and the more I like it...
@cis minor: It's difficult to hear a score in your head, but not impossible. I'm trying to study the music away from the piano more... hopefully to improve my memory. Not everything is getting memorized but definitely this sonata.
@AllPiano: and love this improv...
Love your voice....
@Science Teheran: Thank you! I never get tired of it....
Lovely!

Nice to hear this old tune in a new light...
Thanks! A great way to start my day - with your music!
Wow! Great piece. Sounds like it would be so much fun to perform, too!
@luliby: Thank you!! Now I have to get to work on the rest of the piece!...more to come next week.
Beautiful performance of beautiful composition! I wish I played cello!

@jessica-maybury: yesbut it is a beauty, isn't it?
