Love the site. Here are my suggestions:
1) I think it's critical to get a camera either on the foot or on the dampers so we can follow pedaling very easily (for us at a more intermediate level).
2) There really should be a way to sort ALL videos in order of the latest uploads. I feel like this is a basic function that I have been unable to do
3) Videos should have release dates so we can track how much content is coming out and when. I feel like I would have no idea if nothing new came out for 3 months in a row. Doesn't inspire great confidence in the value proposition when it's this way.
Bonus: As much Garrick Ohlsson as humanly possible.

I am a long-time member and enjoy the site very much. My favorite sessions are the individual teaching lessons with a running line of piano notes and teacher markings below. This mixed with real time demonstrations at the keyboard are extremely valuable. While I agree it might be cool to see the pedal foot movements, I doubt it would enhance the lessons much over just a verbal statement of how the instructor is pedaling.
Thanks for your great work.

Another two: on my Android tablet app I can't reply to this thread when vertikal, no box to type something in. Horizontal works.
And I went to my practise plan, it shows 2 "finished" courses, but I can't click/rewatch them. No link. The last one is checked because I watched it, but I haven't practised yet! I would like to rewatch it, now I have to try to find it via the search... doesn't make much sense to me.

Hi. I am new to this place and i just started exploring it. By now, I found missing a tutorial on Chopin’s polonaise op 53. Is there one and i did not found it?

Hi I would love to see maybe a little more organization in the community forums page. Things seem sort of all just mixed together and there are old challenges mixed in with current ones so I find it a little hard to find things that are current. It would nice to maybe have a sub-page where the old challenges and things get moved to.

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.

Each Tonebase member profile should have a library of their audio and video recordings. When I click on a Tonebase member profile, I'd like to be able to access the recordings they want to feature all in one place.

At one point I filled out a questionnaire which determined what " level" I would be considered. I can't get rid of that now; every time I log in to see one of the new videos or sign up for a live presentation, I get routed to the "your level " videos and have to start hunting for what I logged in to see or sign up for. I wish I never filled out that questionnaire....I wish I could just delete it. Sometimes I can't find the video I came for....the search bar is so obscure and hard to find, so I just quit trying altogether.

When posting on my mobile in vertical mode I only can attach a picture or attachment. In horizontal the video link icon pops up. But then the text box is too small and everything rearranges, so it's hard to type anything.
Would be great to have the video icon in vertical mode as well 🥰

It would be helpful to be able to view/download the entire workbook for a course before starting it. As of now you have to start the video, pause it, open the workbook, print it out, then return to watching the video.

My only trouble is theory. Having the necessary foundation to be instinctive at the piano requires a solid theoretical foundation that I'm not able to establish at the moment. Would there be a way to establish a structure that would guide us to acquire this foundation because the theoretical lessons here are too scattered to do so. Having links after each theory lesson that lead to the next lesson directly related to what was just studied might be one solution. Or building a complete system around music theory that provides a structure to get us to our goals quickly.
I am a little upset that for such an important aspect of piano lessons, this structure is not available on tonebase. It is already so hard currently in Israel, I would have loved an easy structure to achieve theory mastery at least be available on tonebase.

I like the app overall and enjoy the content. I have a few suggestions.
I have this installed on my iPad. I do not want notifications. It asks me every time I open the app to turn notifications on. Please stop asking me.
I have to pick piano from the list of instruments every time I enter the app also. It is the only instrument I have a subscription for. I should not have to pick it every time.

It would be good in TWI to announce in the groups when new instructions/assignments/catch up vdo are posted. I think many people, esp those who are new to TWI, may not check for changes at the top of the page much after the first instructions.
