It was my first time attending a masterclass, this was such an amazing experience. I gained a great deal of knowledge, the professors taught so many techniques, so many things which I never knew. They went over so many details from shaping the hand to using the pedal to playing pianissimo, performance tips, practice guidelines, and so much more. I enjoyed and learnt so much.
