ABOUT TONEBASE COMMUNITY CONCERTS:
These events are NOT live-streamed OR recorded, but are private zoom meetings where tonebase members can share their hard work and perform for each other!
These concerts can be played LIVE, or if you can't attend, you can submit a recording!
This is a GENEROUS and SUPPORTIVE space.
Performing is one of the best ways to push yourself, and really evaluate the work/progress you have made!
Repertoire is open to any piece!
Memorization is NOT required.
You can play select movements, or even sections of pieces! No need to perform a complete work!
Playing the piano is fun, but sharing your music with others is one of life's great joys. Join in on the fun and cheer each other on!
FOR OPTIMIZING YOUR ZOOM SETTINGS PLEASE SEE THE SHORT VIDEOS BELOW!
Because we use zoom for these concerts, it is important to have the best audio and visual settings available!

Hi Dominic and everyone, happy new year !
because of the time zone , the concert ends up being at 6am down here, so not sure I’ll be up to a live performance at that time ( and other family members might object!)
I will try to join in passively..
in the meantime I submit the below recording for the concert , I understand that there is a jazz component at tone base
this is my own version of Fats Waller’s jitterbug waltz, the improvisation is largely spontaneous. The framework of the melody is a commonly found transcription from 1942. The chord changes are slightly different from the original , and are the ones usually played at a jam session
for those interested, I recommend listening to Chic Corea’s recording
Jitterbug waltz

This looks like a very full (and amazing!) program already, but if there’s still some open time, I would like to play “Cloches à travers les feuilles” by Claude Debussy, from the second book of “Images”. I started learning this back in August, for the Debussy challenge, but I am an extremely slow learner and it takes me much longer than 4 weeks to master a new piece.
