A Piano Masterclass

A piano masterclass is a teaching session where one or more experienced and often renowned pianists and piano educators instruct one or more students in piano playing. These sessions can vary in length and format, but they typically involve the following elements:

Individual Instruction

The instructor may also demonstrate specific techniques or passages from music pieces to illustrate their points.

Observation

Repertoire 

In a piano masterclass, the focus can be on a broad selection of piano music, from Baroque to contemporary pieces, depending on the instructor's specialization and the students' interests.

Masterclasses are a valuable opportunity to learn from an expert, improve one's piano playing, and gain a deeper understanding of the music. They are also often open to the public, giving attendees a chance to experience high-level piano instruction.
