A MasterClass in piano is a special class taught by someone who is an expert in a particular class of music. It fortifies and adds to the lessons that a student gets from his regular teacher. ORMTA holds MasterClasses on a regular basis for the benefit of students of ORMTA members.

PHOTO ABOVE -- 2019 PRE PANDEMIC CHRISTMAS PLAY-iN  

I miss gathering my students together for some fun, like the photo above taken in December 2019.   I wish we could go back to normal when I could resume our traditional Christmas Party and Play In for my students.  So much fun with kids enjoying a Holiday get together where they can show off their piano skills to one another. That said, here is WISHING EVERYONE A VERY MERRY & BLESSED CHRISTMAS, and I hope everybody is staying safe.
