Hi M,

Just getting back to playing the piano again ... currently "First Lessons in Bach."

I've added some of these Youtube videos of someone playing some of these pieces, such as -

"First Lessons in Bach Book 1 No.2 Minuet BWV Anh 115 G Minor (Anna Magdalena Notebook) 小步舞曲"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJLDDZMvQOY - which I can begin to play with, and -

"First Lessons in Bach Book 2 No.7 Gavotte BWV816 French Suite No.5 G Major 嘉禾舞曲"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knzKqLkdfsY - which is a little too fast for me to play with it, but nevertheless I can play one hand more slowly, and both hands quite slowly, after hearing it.

I've added a few of these only to the JS Bach wiki school at WUaS, as well  -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach - and these videos and this page are helpful. (See, too - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Piano).


I also came across John Palfrey talking in this inspiring panel - "Learning in a New Era"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfsQm7wvlnQ (watch this if you get a chance - it's a great conversation) - also touching on Sal Khan and digital dashboards, - https://www.khanacademy.org/about/blog/post/58354379257/introducing-the-learning-dashboard - for learning calculus, for example - and added a reference for this to -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Practicing_-_Playing_a_Musical_Instrument - of all places.

Although I've wondered about designing a kind of computer application for feedback at WUaS for singing in my blog before - e.g. http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/10/wilsons-bird-of-paradise-cicinnurus.html  and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/04/bali-tiger-how-to-marry-two-databases.html - how to apply this dashboard idea for flourishing technically and happiness-wise in learning to play a musical instrument at many different levels?

A teacher might be a parallel sharer of feedback.

Back to piano playing here ...

Creative time here creating WUaS ... :)

Happy New Year ... with a happy new year's email!

Love,
Scott
