Master Class Format a Success!

Dr. Silva initiated a pilot program for two groups of selected students who attended a Master Class format. The classes had up to 6 students of similar levels and lasted about two and a half hours each session, depending on the number of students attending, repertoire presented and level of student preparation. Focus was on performance practice, technique, historic and stylisic approach, discussions on listening assingnments and other aspects of artist training. Students also received a scheduled private or semi-private lesson every third week (following every two weeks of Master Classes).

This format was successful since students had performance opportunities on a regular basis, learned from the lessons of their peers and benefitted from the group dynamics. As students progress to the level required for the Master Classes, they will be invited to join on an individual basis.
