Get ready to take your music to the next level! We are continuing our exciting new student workshop series, designed to enhance your learning experience and boost your musicianship. These engaging masterclasses will focus on key areas of music theory, technique, and performance, giving you the tools and confidence to excel as a musician.
Our classes are intentionally small to ensure that every student receives personalized attention from the instructor. This intimate setting allows for one-on-one guidance while also fostering a sense of community and collaboration with other students.
Bonus: We understand the importance of making up missed lessons, and our workshops offer a flexible and beneficial alternative. Each workshop counts as one make-up lesson, regardless of its duration, providing you with more options to stay on track with your studies. However, due to limited space, sign-ups are on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay in securing your spot.
Our workshops are designed to be accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. All sessions will take place on Zoom, and you’ll receive login information ahead of time. This flexibility allows you to participate without leaving the comfort of your home.
To ensure a seamless experience, please make sure you have a stable internet connection and a device with a microphone and camera.
