Steven L's Profile - Tonebase Piano Community

I've been studying piano (on and off) for 30+ years, however, I'm recently retired and finally have more time to devote to my piano studies. My main focus of piano study is classical, goal is to progress beyond intermediate ability at the piano and learn LOADS more about theory and technique.

Re: Sign-up for the Crash Course on Controlling your Dynamics!
New to this... is there some sort of "meeting time" on the first day? Are there any materials for the course? (really not good communication)
