With guidance of course. That piece I coached her on, but I'm done coaching her on it unless I hear anything really atrocious!

I'm thinking if I could see her as well as hear the performance I might appreciate her variations more. In listening without being able to see her body language, I felt some of the hesitations were a little awkward, especially in the first two or three measures.

For the melody line she has a very nice interpretation and I do see why she wants to hold some of the notes out longer. However, my personal preference is to keep the left hand flowing, which in this case means more even.
