0:00Completing the Weissenborn Series

Well, we have come to the end of our journey together! I find it hard to believe that this project is coming to an end. When I began planning this series well over a year ago, I thought I might produce about 30 videos that summarized the content of the 50 studies. I didn't even dream at the time that I would be providing you with performances of every study, most of which include the entire study. In addition, I have been able to provide many more details in the tutorials and reflections than I thought I would be able to do. Thank you Towson University for the sabbatical that made this possible!

0:46Thanks to the Student Performers

Again I want to thank my students who helped by recording 13 of the studies. Without their assistance I could not have completed this series.

0:56Celebrating Completion of the 50 Studies

I feel that there must be some way to celebrate your achievement as you are completing the 50 studies. If you have watched the videos to all of the studies and practiced them, I have a special offer for you.

1:10Final Examination

For your final examination send to me a link to your video of one of these assignments:
