You’re right, Dustin! It runs fine on iPad I use for scores at piano and on a table top Mac. So it’s my laptop that’s incapable of running it. Thanks!

Hello Dominic, I found there's a TWI coming up and I signed up on the "interested" tab. I suppose I'll change it to "going" at some point and try to follow. Does the site send out reminders? Thank you for making this real for me.

Hello, I just signed up for Tonebase and am in the Trial. I retired a couple of years ago and decided that i was going to learn how to play the piano, as a hobby. I have played guitar for most of my life. I have researched lots of different apps and websites over the past few years. Tried many. Found a local teacher but it seemed not very focused. I can read music although I am not a great sight reader. I have been working on it. I know some music theory. I think i might be considered an advanced beginner on the piano. I play on a Roland FP90x keyboard. My impression so far of Tonebase? I have learned to play Moonlight Sonata over the last couple of years. I can play the notes. Then i started to watch your Moonlight Sonata series under Tracks. WOW! Amazing. I am sold. This is exactly what i have been looking for I think. Just working on the 1st 2 measures was revealing in developing the nuances of playing the piece. It felt good. Then i discovered the Core Elements of Learning Repertoire and started working on that. I am also impressed with that. I was already working on Fur Elise and found her application of the music ideas to that piece a great way to learn things. I knew a lot of that content so far, but i assume it will get more challenging as we move on. I think it will help me play Fur Elise but i would like to see that piece in your tracks. Then I discovered you Jazz and Blues courses. I have tried to play lead sheets and generally failed so perhaps that course will help. I just love music and have always wanted to understand it enough to be able to make music myself. I can jam on a guitar and i would like to be able to do that on the piano also. I think i will sign up for a year and work through your content and see how it goes. I would really like to see more content under the Tracks!
