This series is open to studio teachers, public school teachers, conductors and pedagogy students and a different set of topics are explored each year.
Each session begins with a Master Class in which Peabody Preparatory students of a variety of levels perform unless a level for the class is specified. We will integrate work on the session topic into the music the student is performing to help integrate their technical and musical practice and understanding.
A Teacher Workshop on the day’s topic follows – Bring your instruments and your questions for an interactive session.
Registration will close Friday noon the day prior to class. The zoom link will be emailed to registered participants after noon the day prior to class. A recording link will be sent to all participants within 3 days after the class and will be viewable for one month.
We will practice passages a variety of ways that engage students in repetition, creativity and progress. Elementary level.
We will explore a variety of exercises and adjustments to help improve a vibrato that is just taking shape or is solid but could use some variety or flexibility. All levels.
Develop musicianship in part by having students follow these three steps, and help identify technical solutions to help them execute their musical ideas. All levels.
