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!)

  • Hi everyone.  My name is Dora.  I grew up in New York, spent my career years in Boston and have since retired to Rhode Island.  Although I briefly tried various instruments in the past, I am only now really starting my piano journey.

     

    I am currently working on Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, 1st movement.  I also recently worked on Bach’s Two-Part Invention #1 in C Major.  Considering our focus on Bach recently, I am going to revisit the Invention and hopefully, record and post the results of my effort.  I have great difficulty recording myself, so this will be a real challenge.

     

    I  greatly look forward to absorbing the knowledge, excitement and inspiration afforded by this platform.

      Dora Burak Welcome to the Tonebase community!  You may want to first do the quiz to determine your level.  From there, you will get a suggested plan of lessons and videos that you might enjoy.

       

      Don’t hesitate to reach out in the Community forums with ANY questions and be sure to check out the Live Stream and put them in your calendar.

    • Gail Starr Thanks Gail.  I did take the quiz and was assessed at Level 4.  I think I must have cheated, as that seems way beyond where I would place myself.  I have the plan and will follow it, but think I might first visit the content of some lower levels,

      The livestreams are very exciting and I plan on attending as many as possible.

       

      Thanks again !
