What would you like improved on tonebase?

Tone base is really amazing to meet our needs already. The recent inaugural summer camp is so reasonable for everyone, I wish i could attend, but we have already made our summer plans, hopefully it will be repeated. I realize it would be convenient for it to be held on the East coast for global members. I am wondering whether you could have a mini camp here in California. I know from my strings friends they go to The Claremont colleges for summer chamber workshop for a weekend.  Thanks for a Great job Dominic. 

I love Piano Tonebase.  I’m check in with it daily.  I wish that ALLpiano class/sessions showing or demonstrating something would have an overhead shot, so that you can watch how the hands work.  On those classes, lesson sessions that do have an overhead camera to show what’s going on, I learn tons. 

Tonebase is quite good already. I actually don’t mind the black background at all. It looks refreshing and classy (unlike masses of terrible corporate presentations I’ve been exposed to). For me, the greater issue is the lack of new repertoire content. For awhile, there seemed to be a new rep. video almost every three weeks. That generation of new content has slowed dramatically lately. Instead, lots of “live” events have taken place, which I understand do not require as much time to create, but they don’t replace what I find more effective in the regular “lesson” videos. Asiya Korepanova’s lessons are so detailed and she offers lots of possible exercises and solutions. John Kimura-Parker’s lessons are excellent for similar reasons as well. I also really enjoy the straightforward and scaffolded approach provided by Leann Osterkamp. The lessons from professional teacher-performers are more effective because they appear to understand the student perspective better though I do appreciate the more philosophical and abstract lessons/interviews from the “gods” of piano like Ax, Hamelin, etc. Please work on creating more lesson videos please!

You have accomplished two humongous projects this year, the piano workshops that will be coming up this summer (wish I could go, but not this year). And the other is the presentation of the program with all the curriculums for all the levels (I assume). Not only that, you produced tutorials for some of them and I wish they had been available when I was learning. And somehow you have accomplished that in addition to all of the fabulous programming you do in terms of bringing artists to us and keeping the community chat going. And I believe you have your own professional artist career going as well and maybe you do more teaching -- who knows. So bravo to you, Dominic!! You are doing more than yeoman's work. Just want you to know, it's noticed and appreciated. It's also well done!!!  Glad we have you here at Tonebase and Thank You!

I could sing the praises of Tonebase endlessly. I would LOVE to see the capability added where one could download to watch the videos when not connected to wifi. I travel a lot and often find myself wishing I could review the videos when I'm on long flights with no wifi access. Hopefully, that's coming down the pike.
