This series of masterclasses is suitable for advanced pianists (of post diploma level) playing the major works of the repertoire. There are regular opportunities for public performance. Join in any term subject to audition.
Each student plays several times a term and works in detail with the tutor. Usually 3 students perform during the course of a session. The attending students are urged to make comments and partake in the proceedings. Hearing others perform a great variety of repertoire is just as important a part of learning.
Entry is by audition. The standards of this class are high and solid pianistic technique as well as considerable musical intelligence and sensitivity are expected.
In addition to the entry requirement, students must also be prepared to spend a significant amount of time practising their works out of the class time. Excellent attendance and punctuality is required from all students. This course requires study/completion of activities outside of class time.
All the repertoire that is being played at each session. This is decided a week in advance. It is vital that students have their own copy so as to make written comments and make the most of each session. Each student should keep a journal where they can record feedback from the tutor and to reflect on their progress both in class and during their own practice out of college.
