With Alicia deLarrocha, the thing to notice is that she wants the
repetition down at the ***bottom*** of the key travel.  She wants it
fast and she wants it consistent.  We have worked with her several times
and when she gets what she needs, the smile on her face is reward
enough!

There are things to do in addition to the excellent suggestions offered
so far, but I'm late for picking up someone at the airport and it will
have to wait until later.  This week's quiz?
