    workbooks and readable music for all courses /exercises (that can be printed- don't have iPad for practice and phone too small to read while playing)

       Also: It would really be appreciated if all lesson exercises/scores & diagrams discussed/shown in video are included in workbooks - the latter do not always have all materials cited in lesson e.g. all diagrams, score excerpts. E.g.  Circle of Fifths lesson. Mozart 's Nachmusik is a major key exercise without score included, but score is shown for following minor (Paganini), and the connections between circle of fifths diagram also not listed.

      Also, for Piano 101, it says there is a workbook but none can be accessed/seen. 

      Like others, subtitles would further add accessibility for those of us with hearing issues or other visual learners wanting a printable reference to practice from.

       

      Tonebase has helped my learning tremendously- and fills in gaps my teacher can't offer - thank you for all you do. Excited too about Music offering!

    Videos/courses will sometimes get stuck on a particular section and keep repeating the same section rather than moving onto the next lesson. For example, the Body and Finger Warm-Up course, my lesson has been stuck at the Daily Sitting Routine video "Step 6b". When that section's done, the same section will load and play again. Even when I pull up the syllabus and click on another section within the same course, it won't play. This isn't the first time this has happened.

    I would like to see more piano selections demonstrated by the instructors with flowing accompanying notes at the bottom.

    It would be great to learn Rialto Ripples by Gershwin from Jeffrey Biegel or other instructors? 
    I am having difficulty playing this in technical retention and relaxation and rag style. 馃槉

  • It鈥檚 a good platform. But it needs more repertoire breakdowns - outside of Chopin and a few other composers, there鈥檚 just a handful of pieces.

    • Angela Turner I agree. Composers that could particularly do with some more repertoire courses are Schubert and Brahms. Also, how about Fanny Henschel, Louise Farrenc and Mel Bonis, great composers neglected mainly because of their gender?

    I agree with Angela. 
    I鈥檇 like to see more in Handel repertoires such as Haydn, Kuhlau, Diabelli, Ginastera, Granados, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Alveniz , Liszt, Gershwin and many more 馃槉

  • Dear TB,

    What is the significance of the quotations that pop up when you log on to the website? Is it just for speed-reading tests? They stay up for a couple of seconds and then they are gone, leaving no time for the reader to grasp their meanings.
