I have a piece that might be ready by then.

The only time I tried sharing a music file from Google Drive was on one of the monthly piano bar threads on PW. I thought I did everything right, but people couldn't access it and I had to use my box account instead. I'm game to try Google drive again because I store all my stuff there anyway and it'll be like a grudge match to get it to work.

    Yikes, I've been trying to whip a piece in submission and thought I had ample time still, but now I feel the pressure 😬

      If you thought that was a peptalk, it didn't work. Now I'm really scared 🤣😂🤣

        It may still be a work in progress, but I think I have something close enough ...

        Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

        lilypad Hi Lilypad,
        When you select a file in Google Drive, click on 'Share', then under 'General access' select 'Anyone with the link', then click on 'Copy link', Click 'Done'. and then using the 'Add a link' feature, here, type your preferred title inside the first pair of square brackets, [ ], and paste the link from Drive into the parentheses ( )
        It is very similar to sharing from Box, except the type of access in Drive needs to be selected manually.
        Hope this works.
        Edit:
        Example from Drive:
        Happy Saturday

            Rob Thanks Rob! For the recital, you only need to paste the link directly. The ‘Add a link’ feature is not needed.

                navindra Thanks for that, Navindra.
                I just did it the other way to save space, but it is good to have it open directly in the page, as you have done here. 🙂

                  Sophia your Lesson 6 sounded pretty good! I think you could polish it a little and add an ending.

                    Rob Thank you, Rob. Trying it now. I must have left out a step when I tried it on PW way back when.

                        navindra I think I got the Google Drive working thanks to Rob's instructions. At least it worked for me (Google knows that I'm the owner though). Google drive is my preference, so unless you want a Box test for other users, I'm good.

                            lilypad Let's use Google Drive since Box is not known to work but please copy and paste the link directly here like this:

                            https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zpmb-p9gdwWucAmKBdJ9vHadCnseOmHQ/view

                            Then it will show up directly embedded on PianoTell:

                              lilypad Your recording brought back fond memories of learning Le Courant Limpide , and of my childhood piano teacher, almost sixty years ago! I haven't heard that in years. Thank you for posting it.

                                I got a recording today - piece from my Alfred book 😁

                                I’ve been recording one of two pieces off and on during most practice sessions with the intention of sharing one of them for the recital. But of course, yesterday, when I wasn’t recording, I played one of my intended pieces the best I’ve ever played! And. No recording. 😫😫😫

                                BTW while googling around for sheet music while reading this thread, I came across this book, which I now want. 😅

                                I don't know why the link isn't showing up, nor is the other post I thought I made, but here are the two books I ordered today from Amazon:

                                Twenty-Four Contemporary Pieces
                                Easy Contemporary Pieces: for Solo Piano

                                My sheet music addiction, which I thought was in remission, apparently is not. 😅
