To coincide with the one year anniversary of the London Piano Meetup Group, a vibrant social group for piano enthusiasts, we are holding a day long event that is open to all pianists (age 14+), not just our Meetup group members. The event features masterclasses from Graham Fitch and Dr Mark Polishook.
Date: Sunday 29 June Time: 9.45am to 5pm Playing Level: Any level from beginners to beyond!
Booking form available from londonpianoevents@gmail.com
Held at the beautiful 12th Century Church, St Mary’s in Perivale
We are fully booked for performers but we have plenty of observer spaces. There are 2 masterclasses with Graham Fitch and Dr. Mark Polishook.
Throughout the day there will be plenty of time for tea and coffee breaks, chatting, socialising and lunch at a pub (or you can bring a packed lunch). Fran will be making some delicious home-baked treats for us.
Bring along any sheet music that you no longer require for our ‘Sheet Music Swap’ table.
In addition to the masterclasses above, there will be group sessions on performance anxiety and stagecraft including hand-outs.
Prices:
Observers: £30
Performer place for masterclass with Graham Fitch: £50 (special price due to late cancellation)
Outline of the Day
9.45: Arrival & Refreshments
10.00: Warm up exercises. Performance Anxiety group.
10.30 – 12.30: ‘Improv for Classical Pianists‘ with Dr. Mark Polishook. Have you always wanted to know how to improvise but you don’t know where to start? Bring a piece you are working on (a classical piano piece is fine) and Mark will use this as the basis to learn to improvise. Mark returns by demand after his incredibly popular workshop in February.
