In these uncertain and difficult times, making space for music, whether you play an instrument or not, can transport you to a place of calm, happiness, and peace.

This past year I chose to study Kuhlau's Sonatina Opus 55 No. 3 for piano. The music is light and joyful with an almost dancelike quality. And, the piece is full of staccato notes and chord progressions called "runs".
