About Master Classes

A master class is a special opportunity for students and guests to watch and learn from a guest teacher and expert in their area. Guests work with students as a group or one at a time in front of an audience. The guest can engage with students and audiences in a variety of ways, often providing feedback on how to improve their technique, expression, and interpretation.

Guests may also share stories about their experiences, such as their career, learning a piece, working with a composer, demonstrating how to play certain passages, and pointing out common issues and ways to improve.

All spectators and students can benefit from observing a master class, learning the master’s teaching, and listening to the different versions of the piece.

Master Classes are always free and open to the public to observe.
