Hi Hayden here how do you perform repeated notes at a fast speed as in Hanaon exercises
-
Hayden Browne Hi Hayden! I might recommend you check out Claire Huangci’s course on repeated notes!
So many helpful tips here!

-
Hi, does exist specific keyboard shortcuts for the video? Something like: setup the speed, going to full screen, etc.
Thx.

Hello! How does the Mentorship program work?
-
Michelle hi michelle, did anyone answer your question? I asked the same this morning.
-
Vicky hi Vicky! No.. didn’t hear back at all. And I’ve clearly forgotten about it!
-
Michelle Thanks for replying, Michelle! I'm new here so am in the dark about much of TB. Working through it, though. Maybe we'll get the answer to this!

I haven’t done a Mentorship program yet but 2 of my friends are and they love it. You spend time talking with an expert coach selecting the piece you want to work on for 90 days. Then, every week you submit a practice diary and a video and you get back a super detailed videos plus written notes of what to work on. You are get real-time Zoom calls occasionally with your coach, too.
i plan to do one as soon as i get a bit of free time.
i think there is a place on the website to learn more but o haven’t looked for it yet.

Gail Starr OH I think I know what you're referring to.. Thanks for clarifying!

Hi Dominic - I have a question about Chopin pedaling based on Garrick's videos. Should I post with you?
-
Pat Van Buskirk sure just post here!
-
-
Re Chopin pedaling, e.g., Op 72, No 1, bar 2, et al - pedal is released on C in my scores (Paderewski & Cortot), but then a bit of a jump to the low E. This release, followed by a long extension, is repeated elsewhere. Should there be a slight break or a bit of a pedal to connect the C to the E? Thank you so much!
-
Pat Van Buskirk Interestingly, the Ekier has put the pedal mark at the bar-line, but remarks that this pedal marking may not be authentic. Anyway, with this piece I would not like a gap in pedal, and make sure to legato-pedal throughout. Let the ear be your guide, is what I would suggest.
-
Sindre Skarelven Garrick Ollson, in his course on Musicianship Skills on Pedaling, mentions that the pedal change with the bass/harmony change is the more modern style, but that Chopin actually wrote releases on the last one or two notes of a measure. He shows this in his facsimile of Chopin's actual writings. I'm just curious about what one would do when the gap between notes it too large for the hand or even finger substitution. Enigma :-)

New to Tonebase. How do we sign up for a mentorship? It seems to ask for an access code.
Thanks

Hi, I'm on the 14-day trial. I love your videos, but am having trouble finding workbooks that correspond to a lot of them. For example the "10 scale challenge." In the first video set there are etudes by Clementi and Mozart that correspond to the C major scale. Do I have to scan the videos to try these out. For me, I'm new enough to playing that it's not one and done with these. It would be very helpful to have the corresponding scores in a workbook. Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Hello all!
I have been a self learner for more than 1 year. I started with adult piano adventures 1 book from faber and now at 2nd book. I am combining it with daily hanon, streaborg and recently bürgmüller. I am always worried that I am doing something not right and thats why I subscribed to tonebase. The problem is I don't know how to incorporate it to my practice, some of the content here seems like more advanced.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I purchased a lifetime membership for piano a few years ago, but my account now shows a monthly membership instead.
Could you please fix this for me as soon as possible?-
Ko Hi
Could you please send an email with this question to:
They can help you there!

Just started with tonebase, am very happy with the academic nature of the material. Not sure where I'd find a path to go from my current level to the next. I've reviewed the practice breakdown, etc, and find myself creating my own practice path. Is that normal or am I missing an available resource?

Hi Dominic!
This is Mantra — I’m a premium lifetime member on tonebase piano, and I just want to say I absolutely love the platform. The depth of content and artistic quality here really inspires me every day.
I had a few repertoire requests I’d love to see covered more deeply (if they aren’t already in the works):
Bach Partita No. 1 (Full) – A detailed walkthrough, movement by movement.
Chopin Polonaise Op. 53 – Technique + interpretation help, especially with voicing and stamina.
Respighi – Notturno – Would love guidance on tone, phrasing, and rubato.
Scarlatti K141 / L422 – Focus on fingering, energy, and hand coordination (Argerich style!).
Liszt/Paganini Étude No. 6 – How to shape the structure and control the fireworks.
Beethoven – Waldstein Sonata – Especially help with the first movement’s pacing and voicing.
If any of these are in progress or possible in the future, I’d be thrilled. Thanks again for everything you and the team are doing — tonebase has become a big part of my musical life!
Warm regards,
Mantra
