The Residential Music Course with Alexander Romanovsky is intended to enable students to make significant progress over a few days, working in-depth on a chosen piece in order to produce tangible results. The programme set for the course will allow them to broaden their musical horizons and to develop their identity as pianists.
The residential experience lasts for 4 days and is immersive, the student working in close contact with the Maestro. In the mornings, each participant can dedicate time to independent study. The afternoons are reserved for individual lessons, which are open to other participants as auditors.
The ultimate aim of the study pathway is to enable the student to achieve greater mastery of all facets of their chosen repertoire. At the end of the course there will be one or more public concerts, giving the participants the opportunity to assess their own progress. Attention is also dedicated to future consolidation of the results achieved: during the course, the Maestro spends considerable time exploring the tools and resources necessary for students to build on the progress made, through future independent study. This will enable them to continue to grow as musicians even after completing their learning experience with Romanovsky.
“My aim is to help you develop the real potential of your interpretation in performance. Every musician is a world unto themself; however, I believe that the truest insights arise from contact with other musicians, as you compare your musical ideas with those of others. Only by bringing together your different experiences can you achieve real awareness of your own choices, both interpretative and practical.”
Three residential courses are scheduled: 24-27 November 2024, 7-10 February 2025, and April 2025 (The dates for April will be posted on this page as soon as they are decided).
