Hi Tribers - we here, started as piano community in April. The point was to learn piano, stay motivated, improve skillset, meet friends that are likeminded. And then, we started getting in Tribers that do not play piano but play all kinds of other different instruments. We also have been getting in a lot of Tribers that do not play any instruments but like to vibe with us. A ton! I came to Skool cuz I had 2 back to back accidents and had to cancel a summer European tour (AND BURNING MAN!!!!) and needed to go to therapy 5 days a week and stay put… I made a piano community cuz I was new to Skool and knew that there is a learning curve - so I picked the lowest hanging fruit… for me… PIANO — as I have been playing and teaching worldwide for the past 30+ years… with great success! So why not use the piano tribe as a learning ground and help a ton of people in the process?!! But, I am not gonna lie, I just can’t. I say it how it is and often people don’t like it, but oh well… Piano only - felt, umm restricted… to me… believe it or not… that’s the truth!!!! I also produce my own music — in different genres and even became a DJ — so I can spin my own records… cuz none of my DJ friends wanted to spin them — the tracks were either too complicated or too long until getting to the point or had too much classical piano in them — pretty much “too sh1tty” lol, to be spun in a club setting… Even when I founded Alexandrova School of Music in 2010 and included more instruments and teachers in our curriculum - still felt restricted and not to mention I was close to burnout the majority of time due to overwhelming amount of quality control that was required from me. I gradually slowed that down… In 2020 (we all know what happened then) I founded V1B1N - and did a series of virtual worldwide fundraisers for victims of natural disasters (typhoons, tsunamis, wild fires, hurricanes, etc). The collected funds were going directly to the associated charities and I have not taken a dollar from those.

Good beautiful Sunday Tribers!! What are your thoughts on naming levels here, in our tribe? What ideas do you have?

I am currently sandwiched between Makarios (on my right) and Valentino (on my left). We are responding to people from around the globe together and in a bit will go on a hike 💕 How is your Sunday going?

Happy bday @Tommy Gan 💕 ✨May all your wishes come true!!!✨
