One of the challenges of my recent 21-day challenge was all about finding balance in your body and seeing how this affects your sound. I have been amazed, doing this with some of my students, and seeing how instantly it opens up their sound and fixes so many problems.

As part of my 21-day practice challenge on Facebook and Instagram, I set the challenge to randomly pick, sightread and then learn an etude in 1 week. Yip...one week! So in this video, I am asking you to join my first practice session on this new etude. I go through the process of how I approach an etude like this, how I start learning the notes and what strategies I use to get the best results in the shortest space of time. Here is the original post of me sightreading this beast...it didn't go well! https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DBEQSAPk6/ If you would like to join the challenge it is not too late!

The prelude in C major by Bach is as beautiful as it is iconic. One could almost wonder if it is possible for it to get any more beautiful than this, but Gounod came along and did just that, writing this soaring and truly beautiful melody over the piano part. What resulted, is this incredibly beautiful Meditation, also known as Ave Maria.
