We are based in Edinburgh and my 11 year old has just passed her grade 4 with distinction. We are working on Grade 6 now and hopefully can get it completed in a year and half time. Thanks so much for your videos. We found your videos before she sit the Grade 4 last week and it gave her quite some inspiration on the tone and so on. We are so grateful to see your Grade 6 playing and we see it as goal to work towards. Thanks again!

I so love watching you play, it is so precise but at the same time confident, seemingly effortless and comfortable, colourful, so emotional and I can hear your enjoyment when executed. Formidable! ❤

Can I ask about the Heller Prelude Jill? Did you pedal exactly as the ABRSM copy suggests or did you add some subtle pedalling in the bars that are marked no pedal? Thank you!
