All of it

At first I was skeptical about a thirteen minute video on sitting. However, the information was warranted and I am glad I took the time to watch it.

Most important part of the foundation

This lesson was golden. Setting the right foundation with correct posture for playing without injury is beyond necessary.

It has been nice reviewing since I nearly quit.

I loved knowing that I actually learned a lot and shouldn't have given up so easily. My last piano teacher said "I've taught you everything I know. I cannot teach you confidence." I quit because I thought I'd never learn to play as well as he. Now I know I can because you just made a believer of me with the way you make the concepts simple when I was trying to make it harder than it is.

Even if I know something just mentioned, I should check myself if I understand correctly.

I like that Warren is careful to speak distinctly.

Posture is a mindful act.

My key takeaway is to be able to identify tension in my body while practicing.
