Welcome to the tonebase Piano Community!
Hey everyone - this is Dominic from tonebase 🙂!
As the lead of tonebase PIANO it's such a pleasure to welcome you to the tonebase community. We would love to get to know you! Please introduce yourself in a post below with the following format:
- Where are you from and what's your favorite food from there? ;)
- What are you currently working on?
- What are you hoping to get out of this community?
I'll go first:
- I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and you better believe that I love my barbecue! It is hard to pick my favorite food between ribs, brisket, or a beautiful grilled steak, but if I have to decide...nothing beats a juicy, fall-off-the-bone rack of baby back ribs!
- Currently working on some old favorites of mine by Carl Vine (Piano Sonata No.1), Beethoven (Piano Concerto No.4) and Scriabin (Fantasy op.28) but also adding some great repertoire by H. Leslie Adams (Etude in A-flat minor Book 2), Laura Kaminsky (Alluvion), and Clara Schumann (Romanze in A minor Op.21 no.1)!
- I am hoping to getting to know and helping all of you achieve your musical and artistic goals. Let's have some fun and get to work!
Now over to you (after some participation from our tonebase team members!)

Hello,
I’m Larry. I live in Pittsburgh but I grew up in Connecticut and lived in Manhattan for twenty years.
A move to Dublin may be in our future. That will be stressful. I hope to be able to enroll in a music school so I can keep playing while living out of a suitcase.I spent a decade each studying the violin and classical guitar before waking up and realizing that I had to learn the piano a decade ago.
I am humbled by the level of playing on this forum.
Food, ok, I’m a big fish guy these days and buy direct from a boat in Alaska. Message me if you want to join my fish club.
I’m working on Chopin’s Op 17 No 4.
I went back to Siloti’s arrangement of Bach’s B Minor Prelude. Excellent timing with that lesson
I hope to gain motivation to keep on practicing. I am looking for advice on which pieces to play and how to play them.
I have a private teacher but sometimes I despair regarding my progress. Practicing can feel lonely. The community here makes me feel less lonely.

Hello Larry. Good to hear all about you. I only joined Tonebase about two weeks ago and it was the best thing I did. I have really enjoyed working through some of the videos and they are amazing. My piano playing has already improved and I feel I have more focus on areas to improve. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Trisha
