WELCOME TO OUR AUGUST RECITAL! 🎶
Join us in celebrating music, growth, and connection through our August Community Recital! This is a time to reflect, recharge, and share pieces that inspire you—whether they evoke summer warmth, personal transformation, or simply bring you joy.

How to Participate:
🌞 Reply to this topic with your chosen repertoire.
🌼 Record & share your performance—or choose to play LIVE!

Let’s make this mid-year musical moment something to remember! 🎵💫

 

General information and Guidelines below!

Reply to this topic with your name and repertoire selection if you would like to perform! If you don't know what you want to play yet, you can always just let us know your intent!

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'll play Schubert Moment Musicaux #2 and/or #6 via video.  

    Afternoon thunderstorms often create an unstable internet connection where we live.

    Sorry for the late notice! I would like to play the Improvisation No. 5 in A minor by Francis Poulenc followed by “Danza de la moza donosa” from the Danzas Argentinas by Alberto Ginastera (5-6 minutes together). I might have played the Ginastera on tonebase before because it’s an old favorite of mine; if so, please indulge me because I think these two little pieces go together beautifully.

    My G major prelude and fugue from book one of the Well Tempered Clavier are  about as ready as they ever will be, and I’d like to play both if there’s time, about six minutes or so in total.

    Ok so I’ve also had a crazy week but really want to play SOMETHING whether it’s performance ready or not so I’d like to dust off the old Brahms - Intermezzo in A Major Op. 118, No.2

    I plan to play live because I want to keep working on my anxiety 😉

    Hi everyone! Here is my recording of Schubert Impromptu No. 4 op.90.
    I missed the Schubert challenge deadlines, but his piece has been on my mind a lot during the past month and does well represent my inspiration for this summer.

    Looking forward to hearing everybody today.  Thanks very much to both Michelle and Andrea,  I've had 2 opportunities to do trial Zoom calls, and just possibly I've got it through my THICK SKULL how I need to set the settings so you can hear me this time.  We'll see.... I appreciate so much that they each independently made the time to help me with that!

       I was so happy to finally get to hear you play live today!! And it was my pleasure to help. Thurmond started his piano journey at the beginning of the pandemic lockdowns, so we learned quickly how to do distance music lessons. And when we began working with our current teacher, he gave us a handout on how to set up for Zoom lessons, so this is one of the few tech things I'm actually pretty comfortable with.
