The Musicians' Mentoring Program at Canada's National Ballet School is a five-day intensive program designed to hone the musician's skills as a dance accompanist. Musicians will experience a variety of dance classes, including professional, recreational and adult ballet, modern/contemporary and creative dance. The flexible program is designed to meet the needs of every pianist, from the emerging musician to those with considerable experience. Areas of specific interest to individual participants can be highlighted. Each day will include a mix of observation and hands-on participation, plus a one-hour discussion with NBS’ musicians.
All participants will have a final review session with Marina Surgan, Principal Pianist at NBS. For eligible participants there is also the opportunity to play for a class alongside the NBS mentoring musician. |
