simon_says Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you for the heads up on this. I am interested in coming to the masterclass next Tuesday. Do you know how long it normally goes on for?. I plan to arrange some client visits after it finishes so some approximate timings would be very useful. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Usually about 3 hours max. The format in the past has been that 6 students get 30 minutes each to play through a piece and get tips and ideas from the guest Maestro on technical matters, interpretation, ideas to try. Rich pickings and little nuggets of information usually and the players at both the RCM and RAM play to a very high standard which in itself is enjoyable.

simon_says Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gabriele Ragghianti's masterclass yesterday was great, with plenty of thought provoking points from changing fingering for reducing the distance in [/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]shifts[/font][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"], using parts of the bow to get more "air" into the sound and how to get more romance into a Bottessini adagio by imagining you are calling to a beautiful girl in a window with a bunch of roses in your arms (you might have to have his Italian passion for that one!). I was glad I wasn't one of the three guys who had an hour each being pulled apart and being told to change bowings etc on pieces that they had obviously learnt intimately. A good three hours spent and all for £1.95.[/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wish I could have gone - glad it was a good event. Fancy elaborating a bit on some of the ideas? Be great to open it up for a bit of discussion ( perhaps a new thread rather than this one! ) and to share the value of these masterclasses.

simon_says Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 UBASSMAN - this is a good idea to share some of the ideas & concepts brought up. Unfortunately I didn't make any notes for Tuesday masterclass and only a few of the suggestions have stuck (I once knew a lecturer who felt his audience would only remember a maximum of three points of the many that he made during his lecture). I will try and make the Joel Quarrington class on 25th and take some notes then to share here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
