WELCOME TO OUR SPRINGTIME RECITAL! 
Join us for a joyful celebration of music and renewal in our Springtime Community Recital! As the seasons change, let’s embrace fresh beginnings with performances that bloom with energy, beauty, and inspiration. Whether it's a piece that reminds you of spring, a melody that feels like a fresh start, or simply something you love to play, we can’t wait to hear it!
How to Participate:

Record & share your performance—or choose to play LIVE!
Let’s welcome the new season together through music!

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!

Hi everyone - I would provisionally like to play the Beethoven Pathetique Sonata - 3rd movement!
-
Derek McConville Hi Derek! Will be great to hear you. Such a fun movement to play through!
-
Ken Locke thank you!
-
-
Sign me up! I'll probably play the Clementi op 36 no 1 Sonatina in C major, hopefully all 3 movements.
Update: I won't be able to play live. I re-injured my finger (not piano-related but work-related) and am not able to play.
Here's the Bach I've been working on and recorded last week.
-
Update: I injured my LH 5th finger a couple of weeks ago, and it's not quite ready to play the Clementi so I'll probably play something else since I haven't practiced the piece much lately. I'll update my chosen piece closer to the date, or will submit a recording if that seems a better option.
-
Michelle R I hope your finger is feeling better!
-
Gail Starr Thanks, Gail. It's getting better, slowly. It got stuck and twisted when I was moving something - so it's sprained.
-
Michelle R Oh my goodness. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
-
Vidhya Bashyam Thanks, Vidhya. It's been improving everyday - and playing helps it to feel better as long as I'm careful in what I play.
-
Michelle R That's great Michelle! I'm hearing major progress in your performances!--sore finger not withstanding It's so generous of you to share your journey with us and I also appreciate your sharing your learning on counterpoint & cantus firmus with me. It's an inspiration!
-
Peter Golemme Thanks, Peter. I'm glad I had made this recording before spraining my finger. I'm hoping the finger will heal quickly, but nearly a week on and it's still swollen and super tender. So, I guess I'll work more on other things musical. I'll post more Cantus Firmus work later today, I think.
-
-
I'll play Magnolias from Robert Nathaniel Dett's Magnolia Suite. And perhaps another from the suite if I can manage it!
-
-
Letizia Another great, & moving performances from you Letizia!
-
Peter Golemme much love to you!
-
-
I’d like to play, though I’m uncertain what I’ll play! Perhaps Brahms 118 no 4?
-
Some choices for Yihan: either his Rach 2 mov 1 recording or live chopin etude op 10 no. 1 and op 25 no 6...
-
I’ll tentatively sign up and post my piece a little later. I’ve been away from the piano for a bit because of work and travel so I’ll see what I can resurrect in time
-
Andrea LeVan well I have a family birthday gathering that had to be rescheduled and is now this Saturday. So I will unfortunately miss this recital. Maybe next time! 🩷
-
-
I’m afraid I need to withdraw since I won’t be available on the day of the récital. Hope everyone has a great time!
-
Gail Starr I'm sorry you won't be playing. Hopefully next time!
-
Michelle R I can't play because I'm going to Montreal with some of our lovely TB besties! We're going to have a "girl's weekend" trip with yummy bagels and private lessons and a group masterclass with Jarred Dunn at his studio. We're so excited!
-
Gail Starr Sounds like fun! I hope y'all have a great time.
-
Gail Starr how fun! this sounds amazing!!
-
Kakie Roberts We're all quite excited! It's so much fun to mix vacations and music.
Last year we met in DC to attend a concert by Chris O'Riley at the Kennedy Center.
-
Michelle R We REALLY needed a vacation and it's nice to meet in person once a year.
