Richard Meyrick, a former professional concert pianist, delivered a masterclass in piano performance for 32 of our able pianists across the school on Monday December 16th. Upon his arrival, he left us all enraptured with a fantastic performance saying that he was “just testing our new piano”.
Richard held a workshop with 5 of our GCSE pianists in front of our audience, hearing them all play a prepared piece and giving quality feedback.
