TMI is very excited to announce a condensed version of Dr. Hsiu-Hui Wang's Piano Performance Seminar! Registrations are now being accepted for our newly created late Spring Class:

Piano Performance & Music Cultivation Seminar (2 classes) at HCC

Led by Gemini Piano Trio pianist, Dr. Hsiu-Hui Wang , this seminar series is held in an informal masterclass setting and covers all aspects of musical knowledge, wisdom, wellness, and piano performance preparation and planning strategies. This seminar aims to provide a fun and supportive atmosphere to help students build confidence, offers performing experiences, and nurtures their appreciation for music. Students will have the opportunity to participate in discussions and give constructive feedback to their peers.

The seminar consists of 2 one-hour sessions and an opportunity to participate in the post-seminar recital at the recommendation of Dr. Wang. The seminar sessions meet only during the spring semester from April - June. Occasionally, if necessary, the seminar session time may be extended to 1.5 hour to accommodate all performers with a short break. Eligible students may also participate in certain TMI recitals and HCC Masterclasses, as well as community outreach performance opportunities at the recommendation of Dr. Wang. The outreach performances may be counted toward community service credits. Please refer to individual schools for more details.

For more information, please contact Dr. Wang at [email protected]. Age - Ages 7 and up or upon the recommendation of the instructor. Minimum number of enrollments is 3 per semester. Maximum number of enrollments is 10 or at the discretion of the instructor.
