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!
Check out these videos depending on the device you are using!

I enjoyed all the performances at yesterday's community concert - and extra kudos to all the brave live performers - I applaud your courage.
I tried to submit some Poulenc as an mp4 file - but it wouldn't play for everyone. I did this because YouTube would not let me share a link - the work is not yet public domain so it was flagged as a copyright issue.
So in case anyone might still care to listen, here it is again via Google Drive links (I hope this works!):
POULENC, Novelette #1

RAVEL, Rigadoun - excerpt
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KUJ17E8ZkmoqsNqohJ3l7c0u2zlcSg_1/view?usp=drive_link
The Rigadoun is just an excerpt - which I include mainly for the fingering. After hitting wrong notes for years I finally figured out a fingering that avoids crossing the hands and figured I'd share (pdf attached). Still a tricky piece but makes it a little easier anyway.
