Hey Dominic... this is Patrick just sending a reply to test out some webhooks :)

Hello, I am new to Tonebase and to the Piano. Just retired, and getting a piano in a few days. What are some recommended beginning adult piano course books? I would like to pursue a classical training trajectory that includes sight reading.

Edgar McHugh Many adults enjoy the RCM leveling system of course books for pianists!

Thank you, Dominic..I am an older guy (60s) and am an immigration attorney serving as the Executive Director of a non-profit. I played earlier in life and the last time I actually "studied" piano I was in High School. I had an electric piano that I occasionally messed around on but I now want to dedicate some time to regaining my skills and surpassing them. I presently purchased a 1996 Balwin R series that was a one-owner piano and just had it delivered a few days ago. I am trying Tonebase in hopes of finding a place where I can re-establish a foundation and quickly (hopefully) surpass where I was some years ago. Anyway, I look forward to beginning my re-entry simply for the joy of it.

Hi Dominic, thank you for making yourself available. I’m actually a parent of a young pianist (9 yo). My son is much of a self-pace learner so I believe tonebase could be a good resource for him in addition to his piano teacher. I did notice that the members here are mostly adults. In fact, I haven’t yet to see one minor pianist. Do you have any stats on the age of the members? Is the minor age group a significant one? I don’t expect any of the content to differentiate for minor learners at all, but it would be nice to have the feeling that you are learning with like-aged pianists in the community. I’m not sure if it’s possible to have a discussion thread for the youth age group?

Dawn A great question and something we are actively working on. In general tonebase mainly has members over the age of 40, but we do have some wonderfully active younger pianists who take part in the different activities, challenges, and more the community has to offer! It is a great idea to open a thread for youth group! I will work on making this happen!

Hello:) is there any place where I could ask a question regarding specific piece (Chopin’s nocturne op 48 no 1)? I’m curious about how to play a part in doppio movimiento, precisely the 57th bar, where there are quavers against triplets. I know it’s probably not the right place to ask, but I don’t know where else to find an answer
Anyways, great lessons and happy to be able to try tonebase :) -
Hello, I am new in tonebase and I would like to know if you consider an option of English subtitles or transcription. Sometimes it would be really helpful for foreign pianists.
