Description:
The workshop will be in the form of a masterclass. Each pianist should prepare a work together with a singer or instrumentalist. If there are pianists who would like to take part, but do not have a partner to work with, we have instrumentalists available and could provide music to practise from. There is a limit of 6 pianists as each will have a half hour with the coach, but the session could be extended if the demand is there. We do, however, have room for another 10 auditors, who will benefit from observing the class. Tea and coffee will be provided.
