We are very fortunate to have living with us in our community musicians of world-class caliber. Many of them are willing to share their techniques and expertise with music students and musicians in an ongoing series of Masterclasses here at the Academy. Some basic knowledge of the instrument is preferred, but you don't have to be a virtuoso on your instrument to attend! There will be something of value to everyone, no matter what level.
