Thanks, Dominic. I’m finding your Practice Breakdowns most helpful. I am also using Seymour Bernstein’s Warmup Challenge and I enjoyed his C-major invention presentation.
I’ll take this opportunity to say that I’m very satisfied with ToneBase Piano; several of the presentations have had a surprisingly significant effect on my playing and understanding of music. I will also say that the range of opportunities that ToneBase Piano offers feels a bit overwhelming at times; so many are quite tantalizing but I’m trying to prioritize my piano time to go deeper with the material I already have.
Thanks again!

I love the exercises by Jeffrey Biegel. They are great fun, yet quite challenging, effective and clever. This professor is a great teacher: approachable and comfortable although virtual.
As a complement the above, and to fill in any blanks that might exist, the Exercises for the Mind and Fingers by Marc Andre Hamelin is great too—also challenging but fun.
Dominic Cheli’s exercises are also super. He is laid back and easy to relate to. All three are the teachers I am both enjoying and attempting to learn and improver with.
Between theses three, I am spending more time than I am practicing my repertoire. Stumbling in your exercise efforts is not as annoying as messing up pieces. -
Derek Remeš' Harmony and Composition in J.S. Bach's Circles--an incredible resource!
In depth explanatory info and worksheet scores. A real gift!
Others I have found especially helpful and informative:
Frederic Chiu, Chopin Étude Op. 10 No. 3
Eric Wen, Analyzing Brahms Intermezzo Op. 118 No. 6
Asiya Korepanova, Chopin Ballade No. 4
Both Evan Shinner's and Eric Wen's workbooks on Bach Prelude BWV846 (C maj)
