We proudly present the first Dress Rehearsal for the tonebase community concert! 
The stage is all yours and with this private livestream we get acquainted with our virtual concert hall!
Answer via a reply to this thread in order to reserve a spot with the piece and its approx. duration. The choice of repertoire is totally up to you! You want to play a waltz or piece from the last Brahms/Holiday community challenges? A piece you've recently worked on for a virtual masterclass? Or something completely different? Let us know!
WHAT DO I NEED?
We are going to use ZOOM (←click to download) for the tonebase Community Concert. In order to have the best audio quality, you can activate the option to Preserve Original Sound, here you find the documentation on how to activate that. It's best to use headphones with when the Original Audio Option is enabled.
LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Is there Zoom link?
-
Hi Hilda and Dominic! I am not sure if my microphone (Shure mv88) will work with Zoom. I am trying to prove it with the iPad, but I think it doesn't work...

Juan Carlos Olite
Hi Juan Carlos. I don’t know if this will help but I recently had a similar issue using an external mic when I started Zoom lessons. The first thing I found was I needed to plug in the mic before opening Zoom for it to be recognised. Secondly, the mic cuts out the onboard iPad speakers so I couldn’t hear the teacher. This can be resolved by connecting an external speaker, either via cable or Bluetooth. There is a Bluetooth button visible on the screen when using Zoom to achieve this. You could alternatively use headphones but, depending on the type, this may interfere with hearing yourself play. I experimented with the options by setting up a Zoom meeting between my iPad and iPhone. I hope this helps. Good luck. Greg -
Greg Ok, Greg. Thank you very much. I'll try to do it all of your indications. Thank you!
-
Juan Carlos Olite You are very welcome. Good luck with the mic and the concert. Love your playing by the way!

Hi everyone!
As I wrote to Dominic, I will be a bit late today. I do hope to be there by 11:30am. If it happens that I have not made it by the time that I am to play and because of that I am unable to play at this Community Concert, no problem! I'll still be there to watch and hear everyone else :)
I very much hope to see you all today! Thanks so much for organizing this event.

AWESOME JOB today everyone! I know that we are getting out of our comfort zones, but everyone was so great in being flexible and working to get the best sound and video out of zoom!
All the music I heard sounds fabulous, and I can't wait for the 29th!
Juan Carlos Olite Brother Will Green
Let me know if you have an success in getting a USB microphone of some kind!
Here is one that I have used a lot for tonebase events in the past:
the Blue Yeti Microphones are also extremely popular!
-
Dominic Cheli Thank you very much, Dominic! I'll get a proper mic in the next few days and we will try it in a Zoom meeting.

-
Thanks Dominic Cheli !!!
Yes, I will be getting a microphone and will contact you about a Zoom meeting. I agree, everyone sounds fantastic, and I cannot wait to share this experience with our Piano Community!
Until next time. xx

Brother Will Green Juan Carlos Olite
Great! We will set up a zoom meeting when you can confirm that you get the microphones! If you are curious to double check the microphone before buying, feel free to send me the item name you are looking at. Just make sure you are getting a USB microphone! NOT an XLR microphone!
Dominic
