Masterclasses
A masterclass is, in essence, a private lesson conducted in
public. Usually we like to have four to six advanced students
who are chosen to perform by a number of distinguished faculty
members, while other students, faculty, and members of the community
are encouraged to observe. Masterclasses are important educational
opportunities for both students and faculty, Bozidar Vukotic,
our cellist says. “It is good for students to be exposed
to different teachers. It gives them a fresh perspective and
inspires them to improve. They get excited and work very hard
if they’re going to perform in front of someone famous.
For the teachers, observing a masterclass can bring new insights
as well and lead to a re-evaluation of their own teaching methods.”
We normally conduct masterclasses
over one day.
The timetable would be as follows, with 6 groups taking part:
10.00 – 13.00 First three groups are given roughly an hour each
13.00 – 15.00 A lunch and social break
15.00 – 18.00 Last three groups are given roughly an hour each
Our classes are not competitions, as our violinist Robert Atchison says, “ I feel strongly that when people compete for prizes they can loose site of the true joy of music making” Therefore, we like to conduct our classes in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Olga Dudnik, pianist with the London piano trio says, “We can all learn from each other”
We want everyone to have had a musical experience, and that includes us.
It can damage a student if they feel they are being judged, as opposed to being inspired and encouraged.
If we all leave with a smile on our faces and a glow in our hearts, then the day has been a success!
