We had another good session at David's house, and learned something new about the wonders of the Yamaha Disklavier. It was noted that a number of our members perform pieces that they learned about from the Pianist magazine, something worth considering if you are looking for new material. Also, several participants highly recommended the book title below by a professional violist and neuroscientist that has upended our notions of music practice. Check out Molly Gebrian’s website and videos.
