Re: How to mark up your score for secure memorization and faster “re-learning!” @Shaw-Jiun Wang Same here, although I haven't really tried to memorize until recently. Until i started Tonebase, I was only playing chamber music with my friends.

Re: Week 2: Status Update and one NEW improvement! @Priya Viseskul I love it! You do a great job of bringing out the melody above the lush (and potentially heavy) LH.

Re: What piece of music never fails to make you smile or feel uplifted, and why? @Gail Starr BTW, I'm taking a break from the Brahms until my LH tendonitis is all better. Plus, my string quartet friends are all on vacation for the rest of the month anyway.

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I love learning solo repertoire now here at Tonebase.

I'm so excited to meet other pianists from all around the globe.
