Tutorials for Preparation

Isaac Bustos: Un Dia de Noviembre


This will be our an interactive Livestream, so let me attach all the info needed for this exciting new tonebase LIVE format!

What is this?

This interactive Livestream is our take on the cohort based learning model. We are used to learn in groups, we do that in school and in university, we do that when we interact in a community and learn from different perspectives. With new developments in online video communication software, we can bring this concept into tonebase and explore a new form of how you interact with our fantastic community!

What do I need?

  1. We are going to use ZOOM for the interactive part of Livestream (the same piece of software that we have been using for the Virtual Hangouts). While it is not necessary to download the software, I would recommend it as it runs more stable as the browser version. In order to have the best audio quality, you can activate the option to Preserve Original Sound, here you find the documentation on how to activate that.
  2. It's best to prepare for that lesson to get the most out of it in the interactive part! So listen to some of our fantastic release on 

How does this take place?

  1. Simply watch the Livestream at the time indicated in the Live Calender! 
  2. At the end of the approx. 25-35min Livestream, I will share a ZOOM Link in the Chat. Click on that link, it will take you to our ZOOM Cohort Based Course
  3. In the Zoom Call, we will get into greater depth about challenging passages of that piece, we can discuss certain fingering possibilities TOGETHER and YOU can get a full masterclass experience if you decide to take part with audio and video (not necessarily needed, more on that below)! 

Why?

  • Because we want to offer a place where true interaction can take place!
  • Because we want you to have the full masterclass experience!
  • Because we want you to truly engage with our inspiring and motivational community!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need to watch the Livestream before the interactive class?

While it is not mandatory to watch the Livestream, the link to the class will be only shared in the chat of the Livestream! As the contents of the Livestream are going to be interactively worked on and discussed, it's a great opportunity to get you up and running on that topic!

I want to be there and watch, but I don't feel comfortable taking part actively and share my audio and video. Can I still participate?

Of course! You can still enter the ZOOM class without audio and video. Though I highly recommend to see this Livestream more as university group lesson and - more importantly - a chance to have a meaningful interaction not only with me but with fellow tonebase users!

 

LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

      Javier Elizondo Fantastic, should I plan you in for a Spot with Isaac?

      Khiem Nguyen You mentioned you'd be interested in an interactive Stream about "Un Dia de Noviembre" if I remember correctly, right? 🥳

    • Martin Hi Martin, I am having second thoughts, I can play the piece but I am really a beginner and I do not feel, perhaps, ready to play in public with other people. Can I decide about it in a couple days? Javier

    • Martin thank you Martin!

    • Javier Elizondo you can give it a try Javier :) I believe Isaac can help you and me and anyone else who attend to improve on this piece. And the more you play in front of public, the better you are at playing in public :)

      Khiem Nguyen Javier Elizondo 

      That's a very important point that Khiem raised, you can only gain from that experience! But whatever you decide is fine, just let me know in a couple of days!

      Javier Elizondo And btw, it would be also fine to just play a small part of it or come with some prepared questions!

    • Martin I read the answer you wrote to Robert. So I guess there is not a slot for playing. I will watch. Thank you, Javier

    • Martin Hi!  I’m looking forward to participating in the class.  My husband has a premium zoom account which I’m planning to use.  I think the only problem is that I will show up as Bob Blodget.  😁 See you soon!

    @martin Hi Martin, hello to all, I am still not able to practice or play for a longer time (shoulder... for half+ a year now), but since I practiced and played this piece before I would love to get comments and participate in this. So if possible, I would appreciate to have a slot (please reserve one, Martin), but if there are no slots available anymore, it is fine, too. Anyway, I will be online then and watch and listen at least. Looking forward...

      Robert Hi Robert! We had planned three slots which are already taken, but we surely have time for some questions in addition to Isaacs general introduction to the piece!

  • Hi Martin, I would like to participate if there is still a slot. I’m a baby as a player but I would like to give it a try.

    thank you.

    • Javier Elizondo Martin Hi Martin, I have just read your answer to Robert. So I guess the same applies to me. There is not a free slot. Thanks for everything. Javier

      Javier Elizondo You have already a spot since you were the first one to write! Here are the three slots for Monday:

      1.  Khiem Nguyen
      2.  Javier Elizondo
      3.  Marilyn

      But of course there'll be enough time for Questions (that's why I only slotted 3 people with 15min spots).

  • I’m afraid there is not enough room to ask my two questions in the ASK area of the lesson, so I will try here.  I am using the Chester 2000 edition:

    1.  In measure 35, I have a 3/4 note in the base followed by a triplet and then another triplet.  Is it possible to play it that way?  

    2.  In measure 46, the treble notes go from A to B (above) instead of as you play A to G (below).  Which is original?

    Thank you

  • In the version of Espiral Eterna, measure 46 goes from A to G. The

    score is signed by Leo Broker.
