What is a masterclass?
A masterclass is a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert (or master!) of that discipline. Each student participating will play a piece they have prepared, and the master will give them advice on how to play it, often including anecdotes about the composer, demonstrations of how to play certain passages, and admonitions of common technical errors. The student is then usually expected to play the piece again, in light of the master's comments, and the student may be asked to play a passage repeatedly to attain perfection.
This cello masterclass will take place in The Activity Room at The Music Academy in Rockford.
This event is presented in partnership with The Music Academy in Rockford.
The Music Academy in Rockford is a not-for-profit community school of music that provides students opportunities to grow through music, inspiring them to pursue a life of excellence, accomplishment and fulfillment while achieving their full musical and personal potential.
