The old thread for Virtual Masterclass submissions has become too long - therefore, it is time for a new one! This is the current submission thread for masterclasses with me.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Following the success of previous Community Virtual Masterclasses, we are once again looking for submissions for the next edition with me.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis (no deadline), so simply reply here with your submission anytime you have a piece or passage you would like to work on.

A new date and time will be announced once we have 2-3 suitable submissions. So please, go ahead and submit your videos to us by replying to this very thread!

If your submission doesn't make it into this upcoming masterclass, we will include it in a future edition. Watch previous masterclasses: Edition 1 | Edition 2 | Edition 3 | Edition 4.

HOW VIRTUAL MASTERCLASSES WORK:

1. You send in a video of yourself performing a piece, movement of a piece, or even a passage from a piece. Alternatively, you can submit a passage of sheet music for me to give you targeted advice on.
2. Once we have 2-3 submissions, I will run a live stream specifically for you, giving you tailor-made advice for your own playing!

It's like if we were doing an online lesson - except others get to see it and hopefully also benefit from the advice I'm giving you. Here is an example!

It's basically an exact replica of an in-person masterclass: you play for a teacher (in this case through a recording), and they work with you while others watch.

WHY?

• Have you been watching the live streams and wishing you could ask me a question relating to your playing specifically? Now is your chance!
• Share your music with others and grow by watching them, too.
• It's basically a free online lesson for you!

WHAT MUST YOU KNOW?

• It can be something you recorded specifically for this, or a preexisting recording you already have.
• All levels are welcome! My advice will be tailored to your specific level, and in the past, we've worked with everything from beginners to full-on concert players.
• You must be fine with other people watching the video and your performance, as it will be embedded into the live stream itself. I will start and stop it as if we were doing an actual, in-person masterclass.
• I usually spend about 20-35 minutes per submission.
• While I will try to feature everyone, if we get a lot of submissions, your video might not be immediately featured. In that case however, we'll run more of these very soon!

WHERE AND WHAT TO SUBMIT?

• Submit right here, by replying to this thread!
• You can either attach a video directly from your computer, or paste a link to a YouTube video
• (If you opt to use a YouTube video, it can be unlisted - no need to make it public!)
• Please also attach a link to the sheet music.

All right, this should be it! Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions!
