Piano masterclass with Murray Perahia / JMC 2022 / Yoav Roth / Chopin: Ballade No. 1

Murray Perahia Summer Course for Outsdanding Young Pianists the Jerusalem Music Centre, 2021

JMC Piano Program
The JMC Piano Program was established by JMC President Murray Perahia, for the purpose of helping to develop Israel’s most talented young pianists between the ages of 12 and 18, educating them and fostering a set of musical and artistic values that will accompany them throughout their lives.

Participants are selected as a result of a nationwide scouting process, participating in a series of educational activities that run throughout the year. These include masterclasses with Mr. Perahia and other leading pianists from throughout the world at the JMC, weekly instruction in chamber music playing (piano trios, quartets, quintets, sonatas for piano and violin, etc.), weekly classes in keyboard harmony, counterpoint and improvisation, intensive residential weekends and courses, and performance opportunities at the JMC and elsewhere.

In order to do the best we can for our participants, we must also support their teachers, with whom they meet and work on a weekly basis. For that reason, the program also includes support for Israeli piano teachers, through special masterclasses and seminars designed to support and promote their pedagogical and musical development. To this end the program also includes master classes and seminars built in a way that will encourage and enhance its pedagogical and musical abilities.

The objective of the program is quite simply to give our young pianists the very best musical education available anywhere in the world, and to do so regardless of the participant’s financial means or place of residence.

I read a comment that the "student" playing wasn't "good enough" to be playing for Mr. Perahia? That is absolutely ridiculous. He's an excellent pianist and deserves this coaching. A student should always be encouraged and and given respect. As a coach, you never know what impact you will have on a student. One great interaction can turn someone around. The impact can be incredible, inspiring, and life-changing.

I'm most impressed at this kid's ability to maintain concentration, composure and technical accuracy in extremely difficult passages with Perahia giving him LOTS of instructions all at once

[pianoperspective]

Not to forget to mention that this is the most excellent educational quality. It's absolutely amazing that this is available for us.

❤ OMG 18:59 The way the maestro played that section moved me to tears. And he was just demonstrating. Wow. Thank you. I needed it. I really wanted him to go on!

[xiaohuizhan]

I don’t know how he managed to make the sounds as if he was playing a different instrument, the French suites he played is just heaven

[christianjimenez]

Man he is tough Mr Perahia. But you can see his mastery working on perfecting the student performance. He recorded one of the best Ballades ever in my opinion. This is golden!

[charleslaine]

Epic. What an honor to be instructed by such a master.
