I love getting to the point when a student is ready to tackle Heitor Villa-Lobos' Etude Nº1. There are so many angles to explore and it takes a lot of dedication to master them. At one point during my preparation to perform all 12 etudes, I determined that the most effective use of my warm-up time was to dedicate at least 30 minutes to Etude Nº1, 30 minutes to Etude Nº2, and 30 minutes to Etude Nº3. Following this, I noticed that my hands consistently performed well when I worked on other material . . .
