Category: Piano Play-Along Tags: , , , , , , | 8 Comments

Sept. Play Along voteHi everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed a great summer. Mine was busier than expected but I’m back to my usual groove and ready to start another Piano Play-Along!  Who’s ready?

We’re voting on topics over at the Piano Play-Along Facebook discussion group, but please vote here in the COMMENTS below if you don’t belong to that group.

And SURPRISE!  This time we’re going to have LIVE BROADCAST with the Play-Along.  You’ll see me broadcasting LIVE on your phone or tablet and you can interact with me.  I’ll show you soon how that works (so easy!) and it comes at no cost to you!

More on this later, so select from these PLAY ALONG choices by SUNDAY EVENING, Sept. 13 if you can. I’ll announce the winning topic on Monday.

1. VINTAGE PRIMER Play Along – I love using certain oldie primers as supplements for my beginners and I’ll give you a tour of one of my favorites.
OR
2. “GET in SHAPE” Play Along – We’ll all practice a certain intermediate-level piece or etude for 2 weeks and then share our discoveries and inquiries with each other via the LIVE VIDEO chats, plus here on the blog, and maybe a little on IG.

Sound good? Are you in? VOTE for #1 or #2. Can’t wait to interact with everyone via LIVE BROADCASTING!

11233584_1629948270575000_6855710208367958764_oThe theme for our Piano Play-Along beginning in June 2015 will be “GET IN SHAPE!”  We’ll all practice a certain intermediate-level piece or étude for 2 weeks and then we’ll all share our discoveries and findings, and then we move on to another piece for 2 weeks, etc.  We’ll get our piano technique in good shape while intensely studying a well-regarded teaching piece.  Sound good?  The 2-week period allows everyone ample opportunity to work around vacation schedules, summer camps, etc.

Of the 5 pieces below, with which would you like to start? (for June 1 thru June 15)
1. Burgmuller’s Arabesque Op. 100/2

2. Burgmuller’s Ballade Op. 100/15

3. Heller’s L’Avalanche Op. 45/2

4. Benda’s Sonatina in A minor

5. CPE Bach’s Solfeggio in C minor.

Are you in?  Let me know by replying in the comments below and cast your vote for your preferred study piece.  I’ll reveal the winning choice tomorrow!
