Helsinki Intensive Piano Masterclass “Re-imagining Performance”
Before this masterclass, the pieces I was playing were just pieces of music and the expressiveness I put into each piece were purely technical. However, during the masterclass, the professors helped me see the music as a story or opera. This allowed me to imagine the scenes in my head and give the piece a new meaning allowing me to have a better of what type of emotion I should express.

“I enjoyed the masterclass so much and I learnt a lot from it! I learnt a variety of dynamics and added emotions to the songs. I would love to join another masterclass with both professors if I have another chance in the future!”
