Piano Course


A course for the advanced amateur pianist and piano student that will explore issues of interpretation and technique over a wide range of keyboard repertoire.  It will also help students face the specific demands, imaginative and practical, that different individual performance styles require.

Students are invited to bring to the class three or four pieces of their own choice in a variety of styles. They are also encouraged to bring something unusual that reflects their own personality.  Ample time will be allotted for each work to be heard and discussed.

At the end of the week the course will give a concert.
