Local piano students have the opportunity to perform in a masterclass with leading Australian pianist, educator and chamber musician, Angela Turner. 

  • 9:00 – 11:00am - Piano Masterclass - facilitated by Angela Turner

If you’d like to develop your skills as a musician and instrumentalist, or prepare for an upcoming Eisteddfod or performance, these masterclasses are the perfect opportunity! Our Masterclass facilitators are some of the best musicians and educators in the country, and can guide you through issues such as efficiency of playing, technique, musicality, performance and practise techniques and address any issues or questions you might have.

Ticket types, and information for observers and parents

PLEASE NOTE - Participation in all masterclasses (especially the piano masterclass) is highly sought after and it is highly likely we will not be able to accept all participants. We will be in touch in due course if this is the case, but we endeavour to enable participation from as many people as possible.

Preference is given to those that apply early and provide full details, and if your application is unable to be scheduled, it is by no means an indication or reflection of your abilities, but rather due to the complications of scheduling as many participants as possible. For example, higher graded students generally require more time with the facilitator, and therefore the remaining time will be lessened. We encourage you to apply as early as possible, to increase chances of being accepted. Places are strictly limited, and you will be advised if your application is successful in due course.

If we cannot accommodate your participation, we will contact you to give you the option to refund your application fee in full, place you on a wait list, or give you the option of changing your ticket to an observation ticket, and will refund the difference.

We are using our own booking system this year directly through the website, and payment is due at the time of application. When purchasing your ticket, you will be asked to advise your name, instrument, approximate AMEB grade and proposed repertoire. 

There are two types of tickets available - performer and observer - please only purchase a performer ticket if you plan on playing your instrument in the masterclass. Otherwise, if you wish to observe and learn, please purchase an observer ticket. 

Because sessions are held concurrently, observers are welcome to go between the different classes, but are requested to do so in a quiet manner. Parents of participants can observe their children free of charge, and observation of Masterclasses is included in the festival’s Full Weekend Package.

All masterclasses take place at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Rooms for the masterclasses will be advised on the day, so it is recommended that participants and observers arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the sessions.

Please note, a photographer may be present to document the masterclasses for future publicity. Please inform us on the day if you do not wish to be photographed. 

Registration and Tickets for the masterclasses are now on sale. 
We look forward to working with you!
