Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Jack Stewart This is sounding really good, Jack! I love the sense of 'purpose' and direction in your interpretation. I agree that an improvisatory feel is what is called for here.…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Eric Phillips This is really coming along nicely, Eric - a BIG improvement over your earlier take. (With Sor, I find it always takes a while for the left hand to adapt to its task; and remember,…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Steve Pederson I like your song arrangement, Steve, although I think the opening bars could be taken just a little faster. I can’t help but wonder, though,…

Re: Level 10 - List Of Pieces (+ Discussion Space) @peter hancock Just to be clear, Peter, I responded to your question as a fellow ToneBase subscriber, not as part of the staff. So what I am expressing is probably best described as an ‘opinion’.…

Re: Level 10 - List Of Pieces (+ Discussion Space) @peter hancock I’ll ‘answer’ you with a further question: are you confident you’ve been placed at the correct level? A few of us have noted that the quiz has placed at us at levels well beyond our…

Re: EXCLUSIVE: tonebase Mentorship Program - with Jan Depreter! I’m surprised to read that $299 is only ‘a small fraction of the cost of participating in a masterclass.’ Just how much does the average masterclass set one back these days?
