Masterclasses
Guiding Growth Through Feedback
Festival 2025 is proud to offer Master Classes, an incredible opportunity for students to learn from seasoned musicians in an environment focused entirely on their instrument. Unlike private or group lessons, which often focus on a broader curriculum, these master classes are designed to hone in on the specific skills, techniques, and insights unique to each instrument category. Whether you’re a pianist, vocalist, guitarist, percussionist, or part of an orchestra or band, this experience offers tailored guidance that can be transformative for any developing musician.
What are Masterclasses?
Master Classes provide focused, in-depth instruction from experts in the field. Each class is led by a professional musician specializing in the instrument or category, sharing knowledge that can help students deepen their technical abilities, explore expressive elements, and refine their overall musicianship.
