Finally, I have someone to practice "with", and it is so nice when that person actually knows what they're talking about😂. Self-teaching can get a little lonely😊

[@ramonapearson1242]

Yes. Your exercises made the practice and learning of this etude so much more interesting plus all your special teaching interjections throughout. I began thinking of the approach to the piece differently. Bravo! Thank you for your thoughtful work!

[@suzanneprior3251]

This was fantastic! I'm looking forward to working on this with you, so to speak.

[@LanceSuzuki]

Great! I hope you enjoy this etude as much as I do!

[@jenniferfarr2257]

I’ve been working on this piece as a way to work on my tone. I found your practice really helpful. I’m trying as best I can to match your tone. I struggle with intervals at times. Thanks for making this video.

[@LanceSuzuki]

The intervals are so difficult for everyone so keep up the practicing. For me, this exercise is not only about tone quality but also flexibility of tone. If you sound is not flexible, it will make the intervals more difficult.

That’s A Great Idea. Thank You Lance. 😊

[@d13gg0]

Can you do a practice video for The Seashore 🌊 pleazeee 😭😅

[@gatozarin]

I love your channel! Just wanted to point out that katieflute has been using that same passage of Godard's allegretto for a long time as the music for her intro

[@LanceSuzuki]

Yes, I am aware of that. Thanks!

[@anthonyrich1592]

Where in the world did you find that J.S. Bach table lamp? (I love it, btw.)

[@LanceSuzuki]

Thanks! My husband found it at a shop in Tel Aviv, so unfortunately it’s not the easiest to locate.
