The First Annual Winter Workshop invites pianists to perform a piece with a soloist for coaching and accompanying advice from professional collaborative pianists. This will help prepare the pianists and soloists to compete in festivals and competitions in the spring.

What is the format - The one-hour masterclass will include a 20-minute individual coaching session and observation of two other coaching sessions (one masterclass at 4:00 and one at 5:00). Participants will perform a prepared piece and provide a copy of the music for the coach. They will be coached on ensemble skills, technique, style, and rehearsal tips; then they will observe 2 other coaching sessions.
What to bring - The pianist needs to bring their musical partner and the music for the coach. They may bring one adult parent or guardian and the teacher at no charge. Nice dress is expected. COVID-19 protocols will be in place. Masks need not be worn during performance.
