Also, we thank those who are able to donate their missed lessons to our scholarship fund and financial assistance programs. When we are able, we help some students and families receive free music lessons and even free musical instruments & gear through these programs.
MASTERCLASSES
What is a masterclass and why are they important?
Masterclasses offer valuable benefits to music students, providing them with opportunities for growth, inspiration, and refinement of their musical skills.
Masterclasses are typically led by musicians or instructors who offer expert guidance, feedback, and insights. Students benefit from personalized instruction and mentorship, gaining valuable perspectives from experienced professionals.
Masterclasses provide students with opportunities to perform in front of a (small) and supportive audience and receive constructive criticism in a non-judgmental setting. Performing in a masterclass helps students gain confidence, refine their performance skills, and overcome stage fright.
Observing other students' performances and receiving feedback from instructors in a masterclass setting allows students to learn from their peers. They can gain new insights, techniques, and approaches to music interpretation and performance through observation and discussion.
Masterclasses help students get to know each other. Students can connect with peers, instructors, and sometimes even guest artists, building relationships that may lead to future collaboration opportunities.
Participating in a masterclass can be a source of inspiration and motivation for music students. Interacting with other musicians and students and witnessing their passion and dedication to music can reignite students' enthusiasm for their craft and inspire them to strive for excellence in their own musical endeavors.
Masterclasses offer music students a unique and enriching learning experience that complements their regular lessons. By receiving expert guidance and inspiration, students can enhance their musical skills, deepen their understanding of music, and cultivate a lifelong passion for artistic expression.
