Re: What kind of Piano do you play? @Jenny Harrison Good point, Jenny! My old felts had been needled so many times, we couldn't improve them any longer. So, I replaced everything!

Re: What kind of Piano do you play? @Carol Chua I replaced all the felts and had MANY other things done to my family's 1945 Steinway. Despite the large investment, I was never truly happy with the results. I eventually sold that piano.

Re: Tell us about your favorite memory performing for an audience (of 1 or more people!) @Vidhya Bashyam It was only because the piano part was kind of tough. If I'm doing nothing important, like just walking around and even stub my toe...BOY, I would totally notice. LOL!

Re: Welcome to the tonebase Piano Community! @Linda Clover I actually put an alarm on my phone to practice just a tiny bit before or after I eat! Even if I'm not at the piano, it gives me (at least) 5 minutes 3 times a day to review a piece.

Re: Welcome to the tonebase Piano Community! @oscar6868 Welcome, Oscar! I love Spanish tortillas, also. Tuve la suerte de pasar 5 días en Madrid el año pasado. ¡Ahora quiero volver! (Tengo primos en Chile, pero siempre usamos el inglés juntos.)

Re: Welcome to the tonebase Piano Community! @Linda Clover hi Linda! I'm also TRYING to start memorizing a bit...and it makes me VERY nervous. Tiny bits every day (or tiny "delicious marshmallows", as my friend @Juan Carlos Olite says).

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.
