The Musicality Master Class is a core class of Vienna Music Institute. The purpose of this class is to give every student an opportunity to play in front of many people to develop their performance ability. Every student will play a piece that he or she is working on. VMI teachers will give helpful comments on each student’s performance, focusing on musicality and performance practice. Students are invited to play even if they do not feel their piece is ready. Even if a student has no piece prepared to play, watching and listening would be a valuable learning experience. It is important for students to attend these classes regularly so that we can keep track of each student’s progress. It is also crucial for parents to attend in order to watch, and discuss with us how your child is doing. We want to give every student as many opportunities as possible to perform and develop their skills in preparation for future competitions or auditions.

In preparation for competitions and auditions, we give the class more often. For SYMF competition and Irvine School District Honor Orchestra audition, we give 3 MMC classes every week. We were very amazed and happy to see that every student who participated in those classes was improving significantly every week. As a result, 20 of our students won the  2011 SYMF competition.

This class is free. The cycle for each instrument is about three months.
