Highlights from Our Online Piano Workshops
Our online workshops programme will be taking a break over the summer and in the meantime, we leave you with some highlights from our events so far this year. We kicked-off with a virtual full house for Lona Kozik’s demonstration of five key skills behind becoming a better sight reader. Lona also hosted two workshops as part of her Harmony, History & Style course which blends analysis and music history to produce deeper understanding of the music you’re playing.
For those looking for repertoire ideas and inspiration, Graham Fitch presented a bouquet of popular works and hidden gems. Legendary pianist Julian Jacobson gave a guide to playing some more accessible movements from Beethoven Sonatas and Beate Toyka unravelled Bach’s contrapuntal genius from early examples of fugues through to the splendour of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Graham rounded off his collection of style workshops with a set of presentations on music from the classical period featuring works by Mozart, Haydn, Schubert & Beethoven.
In March we were delighted to be visited once again by Fred Karpoff who presented a set of two workshops on mastering elements of technique essentially for moving beyond the intermediate level. These were followed by Ken Johansen’s two-part workshop series a two part workshop series on using keyboard harmony to learn advanced pieces more effectively. And lastly, Graham presented revised versions of his most popular workshops on fingering, playing faster and playing with freedom.
