Hone your skills and gain valuable experience
Considered one of the most effective means of musical development, cello Masterclasses are generally catered to groups of students with prior knowledge of the instrument. During these sessions, cello compositions will be performed, sometimes by the students themselves. The teacher will then provide constructive comments on the performances, thereby creating priceless learning opportunities for both performer and observer; Students will receive individualised and pertinent advice towards refining their artistry, while the audience is able to learn vicariously and experience how a master’s guidance improves their performance.
