I would curious to hear more about using accelerando and rallentando (microtiming) in phrasing, which is particularly prominent in Western classical music from the Romantic perioud, where, for example, a phrase is often performed in
crescendo/accelerando decrescendo/rallentando pattern--slow/soft in the beginning, fast/loud in the middle, slow/soft in the end. Thanks, Sam

This was good tip. You could also talk about technique and mention that without good technique we can't express ourselves musically, and related to that, that technique is not purpose on it's own, but tool to express music. Sorry if I ma obnoxous, Youtube throws your videos at me all the time, don't know why. Good work, great recording technique.
