Studio Master Classes are a wonderful way of adding spice to an already excellent curriculum and performance schedule. All ages and levels will enjoy the interactive journey of the class, while experiencing a new venue for performance. Students preparing for a judged event or festival garner new insights and practice techniques, while solidifying memory and polishing performance presentation.
Master Classes
The Master Class remains one of my favorite venues for learning.
Whether participating as an audience member, performer, or clinician, the Master Class offers a plethora of learning for everyone. As a clinician, I unite the joy of learning, teaching, and playing in an interactive experience, not just for the performer, but the audience as well. With six years experience in administering master classes, I happily work with beginning to advanced students, offering tips on learning, practicing, memory, artistry, style and interpretation, and relevant performance practices. I am ever ready with composer anecdotes and insightful information regarding repertoire and music history and appreciation. I love to jump out of the box and encourage pathways for creativity at the keyboard from ornamenting and embellishing Baroque works to 'safe', on-the-spot improv, derived from the student's repertoire. Group improv experience can be another fun part of a master class upon request.
I am open to administering master classes for groups, private studios, and events.
