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!

Oh please, don't expect too much ok? I just wanted to simulate a live participation as much as I could! The piece was barely ready to record!
In the past I used to wait until I was maximally ready before recording, nowadays I start to record as soon as I'm minimally ready. I find this to be therapeutic because recording used to make me overly anxious. Recording early in the process has many advantages, but the first attempts are far from satisfactory. Case in point, I showed this recording to two pianist friends. The first took a full day before giving me a tepid "It's good.". The other one flat out said she didn't like it, saying, and I quote, "It's horrendous. I only like it when you play slow pieces, which you almost never do. You always play pieces where there's a gazillion notes swimming around frantically all over the place like spermatozoids"! That's what she said! So, you have been warnedđ .
