An Empowering Approach to Continuing Musicianship Growth and Performing Skills at the Piano

•  August 23, 2024 – August 25, 2024
   6:30 pm – 4:00 pm 

Level: All abilities
Fee: £336 with Alton Chung Ming Chan

Have you ever been intimidated by a composer’s piece and felt reluctant to study or perform it because you just didn’t feel competent or equipped enough to tackle it? For example, a favourite Chopin or Liszt’s Transcendental Etude or a very famous sonata or concerto.

Good news! the purpose of this short piano course is to focus on both the essential technical and musical skills that cannot be easily verbalized or articulated, which either you have not covered in your previous learnings, or simply do not know how to apply systematically. The emphasis is to empower the performers and pedagogues with practical tools for continual growth in musicianship and performing skills at the piano. The course is open to all levels and serious piano pedagogues.

Each learning session will focus on one or more individual topics such as tone productions, techniques, pedalling, phrasing, composers’ intentions, and performance practices. The contents will be organized and presented in a simple and easily understood manner that have not been elucidated anywhere before. Moreover, attendees will be given guidelines on how to approach and learn a new piece beyond their ability successfully, as well as to share the difficulties of pieces they are currently working on.

• Session 1: Tone Productions and Voicings
• Session 2: Technical Movements
• Session 3: Phrasing/Composers’ Intentions
• Session 4: Pedalling Performance Practice
• Session 5: Effective and Efficient Approaches to Learning a New Piece
• Session 6: Open Discussions on Attendees’ Current Studying Pieces
