Really nice cover of this lesser known holdiay favorite. Recognize it from Brent's book; haven't but plinked a few threads of it. This "project" is impressive; no doubt it has developed you in some ways at the very real margins. Impressive because there are very few with the skills and confidence to release a live performance every day. We are also enjoying very nice, credible, authentic music every day. That is a perk for us. I am getting used to the page turning pedal, it is actually coming into my brain as automatic response at page turn events, though I still may be a tad slow. Pleased with that progress for the minimal time invested. I drove up and picked up my brand new P-45 "B" model from Yamaha; the one with the same guts except this one has the quiet keyboard, no Frosty thump-ety thump. Setting it up anon. Have listed my former one for sale; I may decide to give it to my granddaughter. She may gravitate to it if not forced into something her parents, especially Dad, would like to see her pursue. Now I have my new amplified speaker monitors to go with the new digital model. The monitors are a big sound improvement. Was near to pulling the trigger on a refurbished 14.6 " Android tablet but decided to hold off for $ reasons. Also in the hunt still for the Roland GP 607. Discontinued production. They make the exact same piano for sale under a new model # and have hiked the price about $1,200 for it. Holding off there for more $ reasons until later in the New Year. Anticipating the New Year to be my most productive yet in my piano journey. Thank you for respecting my humble rantings. I am a passionate piano maven and those akin to me are my peeps.
I did find quite a few unknown-to-me gems in this collection of Brent's! As far as doing this every day for over a year, I have noticed that I can learn a song really quickly. One slow play through is usually enough to point out which areas are going to need a little more attention. It has definitely improved my teaching, and my live performing--I have more confidence, and the ability to improvise and work through jazz harmonies. My sight reading has also improved! I love my page-turning pedal. I'm also getting more confident with it and have even tried it in live performances now. (It's really helpful for those long choir numbers!) I really like the Apple I-Pads! If you can find a earlier generation of I-Pad Pro, they are definitely worth it. I've used mine for quite a number of years now, and I am glad I invested in the larger one--you can see one sheet of paper really easily. If you can find a Technics digital piano--those were really nice too (also discontinued). I was really happy with mine--it lasted over 20 years.
Your absolutely phenomenal cover of this magical music highlights the incredible beauty of this music. Thank you Elena Fortin 👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.
Thank you so much! I was happy to find this collection of these favourites. Not well-known, but beautiful arrangements.
Great work!
Thank you sir!
