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! Excited to be here! I've watched many of the free tonebase videos on YouTube and finally decided to join.
I started piano about 6 years ago at age 44 and immediately fell in love with it. So much so that I strongly believe I'd have become a professional musician had I been exposed to it early in life. My goal is to become the best pianist I can be given my limited amount of practice time due to work, parenting, and other life responsibilities, but I'm taking it seriously. I already have an in-person teacher whom I love (1-hour bi-weekly lessons), but wanted to add tonebase lessons to complement what I learn from him. Plus, I'm also trying to start learning guitar on my own and I see tonebase has that instrument as well.
The pieces I'm working on now are: Bach's two-part invention in F, the 3rd movement of Mozart's K545 (already learned and performed the first 2 movements in recitals), Liszt's Consolation No. 3, and Chopin's Marche Funèbre.
I was born in Brazil, but have been living in the US since 2000. Currently in Florida.
