Re: What would you like improved on tonebase?
I really wish you would add more repertoire tutorials, especially for beginner to intermediate level, not just virtuoso pieces.

Re: Digital Piano for Serious Headphone Practice – Kawai CA vs Roland LX?
I have a Kawai CA 701 and absolutely love it. I did try the 901 but it didn't seem all that different to my ears and I greatly prefer the cabinet style of the 701. Plus I also wanted a white piano.…

Re: Digital Piano for Serious Headphone Practice – Kawai CA vs Roland LX?
@Barbara Blakeslee That's a beautiful piano! I tried it out side by side with a Kawai CA 701. I wound up buying the Kawai but it was a close contest and I can see why you love the Casio.

Re: Week 1 Assignment
Dominic, I need to withdraw from the intensive. The initial assignment isn't something I can do. I'll need to find another way to learn to trill.

Re: What would you like improved on tonebase?
@Randi I just wish there was something much simpler like a Roku app. I don't want to bother with all that techie stuff. The ports on my tv aren't accessible because of my setup.…

Re: What would you like improved on tonebase?
I would love to have a Tonebase streaming app on Roku so I could watch the videos on my TV screen. I'd see much more detail and it would be so much easier to use.

Thanks, Linda. I love many other kinds of music, too, in addition to classical. Not rap, and not hip hop, though do like "Hamilton."

This may be a cop out, but I simply cannot choose! I love the different periods and they each feed different parts of my soul. I've never been able to answer questions about my favorite composer,…
