Master Classes
Throughout the school year, PYP musicians participate in masterclasses and coaching sessions led by visiting artists. Many of these sessions are open for observation by other students and the public at no charge. Attending a masterclass is an excellent way to learn by watching and listening to a master teacher work with a student to expand her or his understanding of technique on an instrument.
